A Unique Bosonic Symmetry in a 4D Field-Theoretic System
R. P. Malik
For the combined field-theoretic system of the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) Abelian 3-form and 1-form gauge theories, we show the existence of a unique bosonic symmetry transforma…
Discrete and Continuous Symmetry Transformation Operators and Their Algebraic Structures: A Field-Theoretic System
R. Kumar, R. P. Malik
We discuss the discrete as well as the continuous symmetry transformations for a three -dimensional combined system of the free Abelian 1-form and 2-form gauge theori…
Nilpotency Property, Physicality Criteria, Constraints and Standard BRST Algebra: A 4D Field-Theoretic System
R. P. Malik
Within the framework of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism, we discuss the off-shell nilpotent (anti-)BRST and the bosonic ghost-scale symmetries of a set of coupled (but e…
A Field-Theoretic Model: Discrete Duality Symmetry
R. Kumar, R. P. Malik
We demonstrate the discrete duality symmetry between the Abelian 1-form and 2-form basic gauge fields in the context of a three -dimensional () combined system of the…
Continuous and Discrete Symmetries in a 4D Field-Theoretic Model: Symmetry Operators and Their Algebraic Structures
R. P. Malik
Within the framework of Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) formalism, we show the existence of (i) a couple of off-shell nilpotent (i.e. fermionic) BRST and co-BRST symmetry transfor…
Modified 3D Massive Abelian 2-From Theory with a Single Pseudo-Scalar Field as a Phantom Field: BRST Approach
S. K. Panja, E. Harikumar, R. P. Malik
We obtain the off-shell nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST symmetry transformations (corresponding to the infinitesimal classical gauge symmetry transformatio…
