We quantize the (1+1)-dimensional Abelian gauge theory on cylinder to illustrate our idea how to extract global modes of topological origin. A new analysis is made for the (2+1)-dimensional Maxwell theory on T2(torus)×R(time). The dynamics is explicitly given for the Wilson loops around cycles of the torus with arbitrary moduli parameters. We also discuss an extension to antisymmetric tensor fields in higher dimensions.

The Bargmann–Wigner formalism is adapted to spherical surfaces embedded in three to eleven dimensions. This is demonstrated to generate wave equations in spherical space for a variety of antisymmetric tensor fields. Some of these equations are gauge invariant for particular values of the parameters characterizing them. For spheres embedded in three, four, and five dimensions, this gauge invariance can be generalized so as to become non-Abelian. This non-Abelian gauge invariance is shown to be a property of second-order models for two index antisymmetric tensor fields in any number of dimensions. The O(3) model is quantized and the two-point function is shown to vanish at the one-loop order.PACS No.: 11.30–j

I present the reduction of phase space of the theory of an antisymmetric tensor potential coupled to an Abelian gauge field, using Dirac's procedure. Duality transformations on the reduced phase space are also discussed.

Perturbation theory for a class of topological field theories containing antisymmetric tensor fields is considered. These models are characterized by a supersymmetric structure which allows us to establish their perturbative finiteness.

Antisymmetric tensor gauge fields ϕab(η) are formulated on the surface of a sphere S4(η2 = a2) embedded in five dimensions. Such compact manifolds occur in the dimensional reduction of higher dimensional spaces that naturally occur in string theories. The free field model is equivalent to a scalar model on this sphere. Interactions with gauge fields are discussed. It is feasable to formulate models for interactions with U(1) gauge fields Aa(η) that are akin to those of Freedman and Townsend in flat space. In addition, it proves possible to have a novel interaction of ϕab with Aa and a spinor field Ψ(η) on S4 with both Abelian and non-Abelian gauge invariance. In these models, Aa plays the role of a Stueckelberg field.PACS No.: 11.30.Ly
