The deformations of higher-spin symmetries induced by cubic interactions of symmetric massless bosonic fields are analyzed within the metric-like formalism. Our analysis amends the existing classification according to gauge-algebra…
We apply the modern Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization techniques of Costello and Gwilliam to noncommutative field theories in the finite-dimensional case of fuzzy spaces. We further develop a generalization of this framework to theories that…
We study the Batalin-Vilkovisky master equation for both open and closed string field theory with special attention to anomalies. Open string field theory is anomaly free once the minimal coupling to closed strings induced by loop…
In this thesis, we present two aspects of higher-spin gauge field theories: dualities and interactions. We first consider dualities of the free theories at the level of the action. Then, external "electric" and "magnetic" sources are…
Gauge field theories may quite generally be defined as describing the coupling of a matter-field to an interaction-field, and they are suitably represented in the mathematical framework of fiber bundles. Their underlying principle is the…
A general mean field theory is presented for the construction of equilibrium coarse grained models. Inverse methods that reconstruct microscopic models from low resolution experimental data can be derived as particular implementations of…
Inspired by a continuously increasing interest in modeling and framing complex systems in a thermody- namic rationale, in this paper we continue our investigation in adapting well known techniques (originally stemmed in fields of physics…
It is shown that two$(1 + 1)$-dimensional (2D) free Abelian- and self-interacting non-Abelian gauge theories (without any interaction with matter fields) belong to a new class of topological field theories. These new theories capture…
We study a two-matrix toy model with a BFSS-like interaction term using the collective field formalism. The main technical simplification is obtained by gauge-fixing first, and integrating out the off-diagonal elements, before changing to…
Consistent interactions with electromagnetism and gravity for mass $m$ particles of any spin are obtained. This is done by finding interactions which preserve the covariantized massive gauge symmetry present in recently constructed massive…
We present the most general actions of a single scalar field and two scalar fields coupled to gravity, consistent with second order field equations in four dimensions, possessing local scale invariance. We apply two different methods to…
In part I of the foundation of the hyperunified field theory, we have shown the presence of entangled hyperqubit-spinor field as fundamental building block with appearance of Minkowski hyper-spacetime as free-motion spacetime and emergence…
The method of coset-space dimensional reduction is employed in order to proceed from a gauged E_8 * E_8' unified theory defined in 10 dimensions to 4 dimensions. The resulting theory comprises the Standard Model along with a…
Using the Non-Abelian Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism introduced recently, we present a generalization of the Yang-Mills gauge transformations , to include antisymmetric tensor fields as gauge bosons. The Freedman-Townsend transformation for…
Theory of massless scalar field $\phi$ with interaction $g \phi^3$ in six-dimensional space is considered. A possibility of initial scale invariance breaking, which results in a spontaneous arising of effective interaction $G \phi^4$, is…
The paper is devoted to a geometrical interpretation of gauge invariance in terms of the formalism of field theory in compact space-time dimensions [arXiv:0903.3680]. In this formalism, the kinematic information of an interacting elementary…
The (2+1) dimensional nonabelian Chern-Simons theory coupled to complex scalar fields is quantized by using the Batalin-Tyutin canonical Hamiltonian method which systematically embeds second-class constraint system into first-class one. We…
We introduce the concept of a holomorphic field theory on any complex manifold in the language of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. When the complex dimension is one, this setting agrees with that of chiral conformal field theory. Our main…
Explicit formulae of the equations in the generalized Galileon models are given. We also develop the formulation of the reconstruction. By using the formulation, we can explicitly construct an action which reproduces an arbitrary…
We construct N-complexes of non completely antisymmetric irreducible tensor fields on $\mathbb R^D$ generalizing thereby the usual complex (N=2) of differential forms. These complexes arise naturally in the description of higher spin gauge…
