The irreducible Freedman-Townsend vertex is derived by means of the Hamiltonian deformation procedure based on local BRST cohomology.
Consistent couplings among a set of scalar fields, two types of one-forms and a system of two-forms are investigated in the light of the Hamiltonian BRST cohomology, giving a four-dimensional nonlinear gauge theory. The emerging…
Let $B_{\mu \nu }^a$ ($a=1,...,N$) be a system of $N$ free two-form gauge fields, with field strengths $H_{\mu \nu \rho }^a = 3 \partial _{[\mu }B_{\nu \rho ]}^a$ and free action $S_0$ equal to $(-1/12)\int d^nx\ g_{ab}H_{\mu \nu \rho…
Consistent interactions between Yang-Mills gauge fields and an abelian 2-form are investigated by using a Hamiltonian cohomological procedure. It is shown that the deformation of the BRST charge and the BRST-invariant Hamiltonian of the…

The cohomological approach to the problem of consistent interactions between fields with a gauge freedom is reviewed. The role played by the BRST symmetry is explained. Applications to massless vector fields and 2-form gauge fields are…
A Hamiltonian BRST deformation procedure for obtaining consistent interactions among fields with gauge freedom is proposed. The general theory is exemplified on the three-dimensional Chern-Simons model.
All consistent interactions in a three-dimensional theory with tensor gauge fields of degrees two and three are obtained by means of the deformation of the solution to the master equation combined with cohomological techniques. The local…
The characteristic cohomology $H^k_{char}(d)$ for an arbitrary set of free $p$-form gauge fields is explicitly worked out in all form degrees $k<n-1$, where $n$ is the spacetime dimension. It is shown that this cohomology is…

Consistent couplings between an Abelian gauge field and three types of matter fields are investigated by means of the Hamiltonian BRST deformation theory based on cohomological techniques. In this manner, scalar electrodynamics, the…

We exploit the geometrical superfield formalism to derive the local, covariant and continuous Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) symmetry transformations and the non-local, non-covariant and continuous dual-BRST symmetry transformations for…
An irreducible cohomological derivation of the Freedman-Townsend vertex in four dimensions is given.
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…
Under the hypotheses of smoothness in the coupling constant, locality, Lorentz covariance, and Poincare invariance of the deformations, combined with the preservation of the number of derivatives on each field, the consistent interactions…
