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 Quantum Mechanical Example for Hodge Theory
Shri Krishna, R. P. Malik
On the basis of (i) the discrete and continuous symmetries (and corresponding conserved charges), (ii) the ensuing algebraic structures of the symmetry operators and conserved char…
Constraints and Conserved Charges for Modified Massive and Massless Abelian 1-Form and 2-Form Theories: A Brief Review
A. K. Rao, B. Chauhan, R. P. Malik
We demonstrate that the generators for the local, continuous and infinitesimal classical gauge symmetry transformations in the cases of (i) the Stckelberg-modified massive…
Constraints, Symmetry Transformations and Conserved Charges for Massless Abelian 3-Form Theory
B. Chauhan, A. K. Rao, R. P. Malik
We demonstrate the existence of the first-class constraints on the massless Abelian 3-form theory which generate the classical gauge symmetry transformations for this theory in any…
BRST and Related Superfield Approach to a Few Interesting Models of Point Particles and a Model of Bosonic String: A Brief Review
A. K. Rao, B. Chauhan, R. P. Malik
In this brief review-cum-research article, we discuss a few key aspects of the off-shell nilpotent (anti-)BRST symmetry transformations, Curci-Ferrari (CF) type restriction(s), cou…
Stckelberg-Modified Massive Abelian 3-Form Theory: Constraint Analysis, Conserved Charges and BRST Algebra
A. K. Rao, R. P. Malik
For the Stckelberg-modified massive Abelian 3-form theory in any arbitrary D-dimension of spacetime, we show that its classical gauge symmetry transformations are generate…
