Consistent interactions that can be added to a free, Abelian gauge theory comprising a BF model and a finite set of massless real scalar fields are constructed from the deformation of the solution to the master equation based on specific…

We apply the BRST approach, previously developed for higher spin field theories, to gauge invariant Lagrangian construction for antisymmetric massive and massless bosonic fields in arbitrary d-dimensional curved space. The obtained theories…

We suggest a new mass generation mechanism for gauge fields. The quantum field theory constructed in this paper is nonabelian, gauge invariant and asymptotically free.

We show the existence of some new local, covariant and continuous symmetries for the BRST invariant Lagrangian density of a free two ($1 + 1$)-dimensional (2D) Abelian U(1) gauge theory in the framework of superfield formalism. The Noether…

Abelian topologically massive gauge theories (TMGT) provide a topological mechanism to generate mass for any p-tensor boson in any dimension. Within the Hamiltonian formulation, the embedded topological field theory (TFT) is not made…

Some general formulas are derived for the solutions of a BRST quantization on inner product spaces of finite dimensional bosonic gauge theories invariant under arbitrary Lie groups. A detailed analysis is then performed of SL(2,R) invariant…

A manifestly Lorentz invariant effective action for Yang-Mills theory depending only on commuting fields is constructed. This action posesses a bosonic symmetry, which plays a role analogous to the BRST symmetry in the standard formalism.

A representation of a subgroup H of a finite-dimensional group G can be used to induce a nonlinear realization of G. If the nonlinearly realized symmetry is gauged, then the BRST charge can be related by a similarity transformation to the…

A previously proposed generalized BRST quantization on inner product spaces for second class constraints is further developed through applications. This BRST method involves a conserved generalized BRST charge Q which is not nilpotent but…

For the St$\ddot u$ckelberg-modified massive Abelian 3-form theory in any arbitrary D-dimension of spacetime, we show that its classical gauge symmetry transformations are generated by the first-class constraints. We establish that the…

We discuss in detail the construction of topological field theories using the Batalin--Vilkovisky (BV) quantisation scheme. By carefully examining the dependence of the antibracket on an external metric, we show that differentiating with…

We demonstrate that the nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry invariance of the Lagrangian density of a four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) non-Abelian 1-form gauge theory with Dirac fields can be captured within the…

In this paper, the BRST symmetry transformation is presented for the noncommutative U(N) gauge theory. The nilpotency of the charge associated to this symmetry is then proved. As a consequence for the space-like non-commutativity parameter,…

We demonstrate the discrete duality symmetry between the Abelian 1-form and 2-form basic gauge fields in the context of a three $(2 + 1)$-dimensional ($3D$) combined system of the field-theoretic model of the free Abelian 1-from and 2-form…

In this letter a new gauge invariant, metric independent action is introduced from which Witten's Topological Quantum Field Theory may be obtained after gauge fixing using standard BRST techniques. In our model the BRST algebra of…

In the framework of superfield approach to Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism, the derivation of the (anti-)BRST nilpotent symmetries for the matter fields, present in any arbitrary interacting gauge theory, has been a long-standing…

We discuss in detail the relation between the gauge fixed and gauge invariant BRST cohomology. We showed previously that in certain gauges some cohomology classes of the gauge-fixed BRST differential do not correspond to gauge invariant…

We discuss the BRST cohomology and exhibit a connection between the Hodge decomposition theorem and the topological properties of a two dimensional free non-Abelian gauge theory having no interaction with matter fields. The topological…

We show that the requirement that a SU(N) Yang-Mills action (gauge fixed in a linear covariant gauge) is invariant under both the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) symmetry as well as the corresponding antiBRST symmetry, automatically…

We derive the absolutely anticommuting (anti-)dual-BRST symmetry transformations for the appropriate Lagrangian densities of the (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form gauge theory, under which, the total gauge-fixing term remains…
