In order to construct a massive tensor theory with a smooth massless limit, we apply two kinds of gauge-fixing procedures, Nakanishi's one and the BRS one, to two models of massive tensor field. The first is of the Fierz-Pauli (FP) type,…
Covariant forms are given to a gauge theory of massive tensor field. This is accomplished by introducing another auxiliary field of scalar type to the system composed of a symmetric tensor field and an auxiliary field of vector type. The…
We study the constraint structure of the topologically massive theory with one- and two-form fields in the framework of Batalin-Fradkin-Tyutin embedding procedure. Through this analysis we obtain a new type of Wess-Jumino action with novel…
We consider the standard gauge theory of Poincar\'{e} group, realizing as a subgroup of $GL(5. R)$. The main problem of this theory was appearing of the fields connected with non-Lorentz symmetries, whose physical sense was unclear. In this…
We propose a new gauge field theory which is an extension of ordinary string field theory by assembling multiple state spaces of the bosonic string. The theory includes higher spin fields in its massless spectrum together with the infinite…
A gauge invariant formulation for the massive axion is considered. The axion acquires mass through a topological term which couples a (pseudo)scalar and a third rank antisymmetric tensor. Duality, local and canonical equivalences with the…
We reformulate gauge theories in analogy with the vierbein formalism of general relativity. More specifically, we reformulate gauge theories such that their gauge dynamical degrees of freedom are local fields that transform linearly under…
It is argued that the massive gauge field theory without the Higgs mechanism can well be set up on the gauge-invariance principle based on the viewpoint that a massive gauge field must be viewed as a constrained system and the Lorentz…
We discuss various proposals of separating a tensor field into pure-gauge and gauge-invariant components. Such tensor field decomposition is intimately related to the effort of identifying the real gravitational degrees of freedom out of…
We consider the covariant gauge field theory of fractons, which describe a new type of quasiparticles exhibiting novel and nontrivial properties. In particular, we focus on the field theoretical peculiarities which characterize this theory,…
Linearized gravity is considered as an ordinary gauge field theory. This implies the need for gauge fixing in order to have well defined propagators. Only after having achieved this, the most general mass term is added. The aim of this…
We start with a new first order gauge non-invariant formulation of massive spin-one theory and map it to a reducible gauge theory viz; abelian $B{\wedge}F$ theory by the Hamiltonian embedding procedure of Batalin, Fradkin and Tyutin(BFT).…
We consider the harmonic gauge condition in linearized gravity, seen as a gauge theory for a symmetric tensor field. Once the harmonic gauge condition is implemented, as customary, according to the Faddeev-Popov procedure, the gauge fixed…
One of the greatest unsolved issues of the physics of this century is to find a quantum field theory of gravity. According to a vast amount of literature unification of quantum field theory and gravitation requires a gauge theory of gravity…
In this paper we give explicit gauge invariant Lagrangian formulation for massive theories based on mixed symmetry tensors \Phi_{[\mu\nu],\alpha}, T_{[\mu\nu\alpha],\beta} and R_{[\mu\nu],[\alpha\beta]} both in Minkowski as well as in…
We show that any theory with second class constraints may be cast into a gauge theory if one makes use of solutions of the constraints expressed in terms of the coordinates of the original phase space. We perform a Lagrangian path integral…
We look at and compare two different methods developed earlier for inducing gauge invariances in systems with second class constraints. These two methods, the Batalin-Fradkin method and the Gauge Unfixing method, are applied to a number of…
In the symplectic Lagrangian framework we newly embed an irreducible massive vector-tensor theory into a gauge invariant system, which has become reducible, by extending the configuration space to include an additional pair of scalar and…
This work proposes a new gravitational theory formulated in terms of the vierbein field. The vierbein contains components which can be shifted by local Lorentz transformations and therefore do not show up in the spacetime metric. These…
The concept of perturbative gauge invariance formulated exclusively by means of asymptotic fields is used to construct massive gauge theories. We consider the interactions of $r$ massive and $s$ massless gauge fields together with $(r+s)$…
