Two main themes populate this Thesis's pages: transgression forms as Lagrangians for gauge theories and the Abelian semigroup expansion of Lie algebras. A transgression form is a function of two gauge connections whose main property is its…

A reductive structure is associated here with Lagrangian canonically defined conserved quantities on gauge-natural bundles. Parametrized transformations defined by the gauge-natural lift of infinitesimal principal automorphisms induce a…
It is shown that the BRST charge $Q$ for any gauge model with a Lie algebra symmetry may be decomposed as $$Q=\del+\del^{\dag}, \del^2=\del^{\dag 2}=0, [\del, \del^{\dag}]_+=0$$ provided dynamical Lagrange multipliers are used but without…
We construct the field dependent mixed BRST (combination of BRST and anti-BRST) transformations for pure gauge theories. These are shown to be an exact nilpotent symmetry of both the effective action as well as the generating functional for…

There is the notion of action Lie algebroids, containing information about Lie algebras and their actions, which is why it is natural to generalise gauge theories to a formulation using Lie algebroids; these allow structure functions in…
Study of gauge symmetry is carried over the different interacting and noninteracting field theoretical models through a prescription based on lagrangian formulation. It is found that the prescription is capable of testing whether a given…
