Higher gauge theory — differential versus integral formulation
The term higher gauge theory refers to the generalization of gauge theory to a theory of connections at two levels, essentially given by 1and 2-forms. So far, there have been two approaches to this subject. The differential picture uses non-Abelian 1and 2-forms in order to generalize the connection 1-form of a conventional gauge theory to the next level. The integral picture makes use of curves...
متن کاملSuperspace Formulation of 4 D Higher Spin Gauge Theory
Interacting AdS4 higher spin gauge theories with N ≥ 1 supersymmetry so far have been formulated as constrained systems of differential forms living in a twistor extension of 4D spacetime. Here we formulate the minimal N = 1 theory in superspace, leaving the internal twistor space intact. Remarkably, the superspace constraints have the same form as those defining the theory in ordinary spacetim...
متن کاملHigher Gauge Theory
Just as gauge theory describes the parallel transport of point particles using connections on bundles, higher gauge theory describes the parallel transport of 1-dimensional objects (e.g. strings) using 2-connections on 2-bundles. A 2-bundle is a categorified version of a bundle: that is, one where the fiber is not a manifold but a category with a suitable smooth structure. Where gauge theory us...
متن کاملNew Gauge Invariant Formulation of the Chern - Simons Gauge Theory
A new gauge invariant formulation of the relativistic scalar field interacting with Chern-Simons gauge fields is considered. This formulation is consistent with the gauge fixed formulation. Furthermore we find that canonical (Noether) Poincaré generators are not gauge invariant even on the constraints surface and do not satisfy the (classical) Poincaré algebra. It is the improved generators, co...
متن کاملDifferential Algebraic Formulation of Normal Form Theory
A differential algebraic (DA) formulation of a normal form theory for repetitive systems is presented. Contrary to previous approaches, no Lie algebraic tools are used. The resulting algorithm is very transparent and not restricted to the treatment of symplectic systems. In the case of symplectic systems, the normal form algorithm provides a nonlinear coordinate transformation in which the moti...
