Chern-Simons Gauge Theory coupled with BF Theory
We couple three-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theory with BF theory and study deformations of the theory by means of the antifield BRST formalism. We analyze all possible consistent interaction terms for the action under physical requirements and find a new topological field theory in three dimension with new nontrivial terms and a nontrivial gauge symmetry. We consider a geometric interpretat...
متن کاملBf Theory on a Brane
An alternative approach to introducing gravitational dynamics on a brane embedded in a higher dimensional spacetime is presented. The brane is treated as a boundary of a higher dimensional manifold in which the bulk action is described by a metric independent topological quantum field theory. The example of a five dimensional non-Abelian BF theory with a boundary brane is considered. A natural ...
متن کامل4-dimensional Bf Theory as a Topological Quantum Field Theory
Starting from a Lie group G whose Lie algebra is equipped with an invariant nondegenerate symmetric bilinear form, we show that 4-dimensional BF theory with cosmological term gives rise to a TQFT satisfying a generalization of Atiyah's axioms to manifolds equipped with principal G-bundle. The case G = GL(4; R) is especially interesting because every 4-manifold is then naturally equipped with a ...
متن کاملGauge Theory as Hodge Theory
In the framework of an extended BRST formalism, it is shown that the four (3 + 1)-dimensional (4D) free Abelian 2-form (notoph) gauge theory presents an example of a tractable field theoretical model for the Hodge theory.
متن کاملAbelian BF -Theory and Spherically Symmetric Electromagnetism
Three different methods to quantize the spherically symmetric sector of electromagnetism are presented: First, it is shown that this sector is equivalent to Abelian BF -theory in four spacetime dimensions with suitable boundary conditions. This theory, in turn, is quantized by both a reduced phase space quantization and a spin network quantization. Finally, the outcome is compared with the resu...
