Off-Shell Covariantization of Algebroid Gauge Theories
arXiv:1612.02612 · doi:10.1093/ptep/ptx100
Abstract
We present a generalized method to construct field strengths and gauge symmetries, which yield a Yang-Mills type action with Lie n-algebroid gauge symmetry. The procedure makes use of off-shell covariantization in a supergeometric setting. We apply this method to the system of a 1-form gauge field and scalar fields with Lie n-algebroid gauge symmetry. We work out some characteristic examples.
