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…
A Theorem on First-Order Interaction Vertices for Free p-Form Gauge Fields
Marc Henneaux, Bernard Knaepen
The complete proof of a theorem announced in [1] on the consistent interactions for (non-chiral) exterior form gauge fields is given. The theorem can be easily generalized to the a…
Local BRST cohomology for p-form gauge theories
Bernard Knaepen
In this thesis, we compute within the field-antifield formalism the local BRST cohomology of various theories involving p-form gauge fields. A particular emphasis is put on the coh…
The Wess-Zumino Consistency Condition For p-Form Gauge Theories
Marc Henneaux, Bernard Knaepen
The general solution of the antifield-independent Wess-Zumino consistency condition is worked out for models involving exterior form gauge fields of arbitrary degree. We consider b…
Couplings between generalized gauge fields
J. Antonio Garcia, Bernard Knaepen
We analyze the BRST field-antifield construction for generalized gauge fields consisting of massless mixed representations of the Lorentz Group and we calculate all the strictly ga…
All consistent interactions for exterior form gauge fields
Marc Henneaux, Bernard Knaepen
We give the complete list of all first-order consistent interaction vertices for a set of exterior form gauge fields of form degree >1, described in the free limit by the standard…
