چکیده

We discuss some of the topological features of a non-interacting two (1 + 1)-dimensional Abelian gauge theory in the framework of superfield formulation. This theory is described by a BRST invariant Lagrangian density in the Feynman gauge. We express the local and continuous symmetries, Lagrangian density, topological invariants and symmetric energy momentum tensor of the theory in the language of superfields by exploiting the nilpotent (anti-)BRST-and (anti-)co-BRST symmetries. In fact, the above superfields are defined to deduce these nilpotent symmetries in the framework of superfield formalism.

Superfield approach to topological features of non - Abelian gauge theory

We discuss some of the key topological aspects of a two (1 + 1)-dimensional (2D) self-interacting non-Abelian gauge theory (having no interaction with matter fields) in the framework of chiral superfield formalism. We provide the geometrical interpretation for the Lagrangian density, symmetric energy momentum tensor, topological invariants, etc., by exploiting the on-shell nilpotent BRST-and co...

We propose an algorithm for the construction of higher order gauge field theories from a superfield formulation within the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism. This is a generalization of the superfield algorithm recently considered by Batalin and Marnelius. This generalization seems to allow for non-topological gauge field theories as well as alternative representations of topological ones. A five di...

Cohomological aspects of gauge theories: superfield formalism

Some of the key cohomological features of the two (1+1)-dimensional (2D) free Abelianand self-interacting non-Abelian gauge theories (having no interaction with matter fields) are briefly discussed first in the language of symmetry properties of the Lagrangian densities and the same issues are subsequently addressed in the framework of superfield formulation on the four (2+ 2)-dimensional super...
