Antifield BRST quantization of duality-symmetric Maxwell theory
Xavier Bekaert, Sorin Cucu
We perform the antifield BRST quantization of duality-symmetric Maxwell theory and show explicitly the quantum equivalence of the different formulations (covariant and non-covarian…
Chiral forms and their deformations
Xavier Bekaert, Marc Henneaux, Alexander Sevrin
We systematically study deformations of chiral forms with applications to string theory in mind. To first order in the coupling constant, this problem can be translated into the ca…
Couplings of gravity to antisymmetric gauge fields
Xavier Bekaert, Bernard Knaepen, Christiane Schomblond
We classify all the first-order vertices of gravity consistently coupled to a system of 2-form gauge fields by computing the local BRST cohomology H(s|d) in ghost number 0 and form…
