摘要
Just as non-commutative gauge theories arise from quantising open strings in a large magnetic field, non-Abelian two-form gauge theories may conceivably be constructed by quantising open membranes in a large three-form magnetic background. We make some observations that arise in following this strategy, with an emphasis on the relation to the quantisation of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms (vpd). In particular, we construct consistent non-Abelian interactions of a two-form in 3+1 dimensions, based on gauge invariance under vpd.
