Chapline-Manton interaction vertices and Hamiltonian BRST cohomology

Abstract

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 uncoupled model generates the Yang-Mills Chern-Simons interaction term. The resulting interactions deform both the gauge transformations and their algebra, but not the reducibility relations.
