Higher Dressing and Shift-Invariance in 4D Topological BF Theory
J. François, L. Ravera
A characteristic feature of topological field theories is the absence of local propagating degrees of freedom. In four-dimensional BF theory with cosmological term, we make this fe…
Off-shell supersymmetry via manifest invariance
J. François, L. Ravera
A fundamental challenge in supersymmetric field theory is that supersymmetry transformations on field variables generally form an algebra only on-shell, i.e. upon imposing the fiel…
Relational Supersymmetry via the Dressing Field Method and Matter-Interaction Supergeometric Framework
J. François, L. Ravera
Relationality is the paradigmatic conceptual core of general-relativistic gauge field theory. It can be made manifest via the Dressing Field Method (DFM) of symmetry reduction, a s…
Dressing fields for supersymmetry: The cases of the Rarita-Schwinger and gravitino fields
J. François, L. Ravera
In this paper we argue that the gauge-fixing conditions typically used to extract the (off-shell) degrees of freedom of the Rarita-Schwinger spinor-vector and gravitino, respective…
