We show that the massless form fields, in $(4+1)$-dimensional non-perturbation theory of emergent gravity, become massive in a perturbative phase without Higgs mechanism. In particular an axionic scalar sourced by a non-perturbative…

We show that the set of ambiguities in the renormalized expected stress-energy tensor allowed by the Wald axioms is much larger for a massive scalar field (an infinite number of free parameters) than for a massless scalar field (two free…

We report recent progress on the application of the tensor renormalization group (TRG) to quantum field theories pursued by the Tsukuba group. We explain how to treat the scalar, fermion, and gauge theories with the TRG method presenting…

The addition of mass terms in general breaks gauge symmetries which can be recovered usually via Stueckelberg fields. The massive BF model describes massive spin-1 particles while preserving the $U(1)$ symmetry without Stueckelberg fields.…

The (m^2,\Lambda) plane of spin s>1 massive fields in (A)dS backgrounds is shown to consist of separate phases, divided by lines of novel ``partially massless'' gauge theories that successively remove helicities, starting from the lowest, 0…

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 give a novel description of the recently proposed theory of new massive gravity (NMG) in three dimensions. We show that in terms of a Dirac type differential operator acting on the traceless Ricci tensor, the field equations of the…

A Randall-Sundrum-like braneworld scenario is constructed in a 5D extension of the Lorentz-violating massive gravity. The gauge hierarchy problem is solved in current model. The linear perturbations are calculated, and it is found that the…

We present an exhaustive BRST lagrangian description of partially massless bosonic fields in four-dimensional space. The basic fields are formulated in terms of two-component spin-tensors in (A)dS space where the tracelessness conditions…

We develop the BRST approach to Lagrangian construction for the massive integer higher spin fields in an arbitrary dimensional AdS space. The theory is formulated in terms of auxiliary Fock space. Closed nonlinear symmetry algebra of higher…

In this paper we investigate dual formulations for massive tensor fields. Usual procedure for construction of such dual formulations based on the use of first order parent Lagrangians in many cases turns out to be ambiguous. We propose to…

We perform a systematic study of various versions of massive gravity with and without violation of Lorentz symmetry in arbitrary dimension. These theories are well known to possess very unusual properties, unfamiliar from studies of gauge…

We consider firstly simple D=4 superalgebra with six real tensorial central charges $Z_{\mu\nu}$, and discuss its possible realizations in massive and massless cases. Massless case is dynamically realized by generalized Ferber-Shirafuji…

A simpler method of quantization is given for massive gauge theories. This method gives the same results as those of the conventional massive gauge theory with ghost and Higgs fields under the Higgs mass. Besides, we point out physical…

We study a set of theories built on a ranked sequence of antisymmetric tensor fields in D dimensional space-time. These linear theories exhibit gauge invariances that are analogous to the local gauge invariance of a massless vector…

We apply the BRST approach, developed for higher spin field theories, to Lagrangian construction for totally antisymmetric massive fermionic fields in AdS_d space. As well as generic higher spin massive theories, the obtained Lagrangian…

Tensor non-Gaussianity represents an important future probe of the physics of inflation. Inspired by recent works, we elaborate further on the possibility of significant primordial tensor non-Gaussianities sourced by extra fields during…

We show that consistent nonlinear Partially Massless models cannot be obtained starting from "f-g" massive gravity, with "f" the embedding de Sitter space. The obstruction, which is also the source of f-g acausality, is the very same fifth…

According to the conventional concept of the gauge field theory, the local gauge invariance excludes the possibility of giving a mass to the gauge boson without resorting to the Higgs mechanism because the Lagrangian constructed by adding a…

Tensor models and tensor field theories admit a $1/N$ expansion and a melonic large $N$ limit which is simpler than the planar limit of random matrices and richer than the large $N$ limit of vector models. They provide examples of…
