AbstractA particular case of interactions of a single massless tensor field with the mixed symmetry corresponding to a two-column Young diagram (k,1) with k=4, dual to linearized gravity in D=7, is considered in the context of: self-couplings, cross-interactions with a Pauli-Fierz field, cross-couplings to purely matter theories, and interactions with an Abelian 1-form. The general approach relies on the deformation of the solution to the master equation from the antifield-BRST formalism by means of the local cohomology of the BRST differential.

The gauge theory of the de Sitter group, [Formula: see text], in the ambient space formalism has been considered in this paper. This method is important to construction of the de Sitter super-conformal gravity and Quantum gravity. [Formula: see text] gauge vector fields are needed which correspond to [Formula: see text] generators of the de Sitter group. Using the gauge-invariant Lagrangian, the field equations of these vector fields have been obtained. The gauge vector field solutions are recalled. By using these solutions, the spin-[Formula: see text] gauge potentials has been constructed. There are two possibilities for presenting this tensor field: rank-[Formula: see text] symmetric and mixed symmetry rank-[Formula: see text] tensor fields. To preserve the conformal transformation, a spin-[Formula: see text] field must be represented by a mixed symmetry rank-[Formula: see text] tensor field, [Formula: see text]. This tensor field has been rewritten in terms of a generalized polarization tensor field and a de Sitter plane wave. This generalized polarization tensor field has been calculated as a combination of vector polarization, [Formula: see text], and tensor polarization of rank-2, [Formula: see text], which can be used in the gravitational wave consideration. There is a certain extent of arbitrariness in the choice of this tensor and we fix it in such a way that, in the limit, [Formula: see text], one obtains the polarization tensor in Minkowski spacetime. It has been shown that under some simple conditions, the spin-[Formula: see text] mixed symmetry rank-[Formula: see text] tensor field can be simultaneously transformed by unitary irreducible representation of de Sitter and conformal groups ([Formula: see text]).

Abstract Among the allowed representations of extended supersymmetry in six dimensions there are exotic chiral multiplets that, instead of a graviton, contain mixed-symmetry spin-2 tensor fields. Notably, an $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (4, 0) multiplet has a four index exotic graviton and it was conjectured that an interacting theory based on this multiplet could arise as a strong coupling limit of M theory compactified on T6. We present an algebraic study of these multiplets and their possible embedding into the framework of exceptional field theory, finding in particular that the six-dimensional momenta do not correspond to a conventional space-time section. When compactified on a circle, the six-dimensional multiplets give rise to the same degrees of freedom as five-dimensional supergravity theories with the same number of supersymmetries. However, by considering anomalies (computed using the product multiplets construction) and the generation of Chern-Simons couplings, we find reason to doubt that their dynamics will agree with the five-dimensional gravity theories. We propose an alternative picture, similar to F-theory, in which particular fixed-volume T3-fibered space-times play a central role, suggesting that only on compactification to three-dimensions will one make contact with the dynamics of supergravity.

All consistent interactions in D = 7 that can be added to one of the dual formulations of linearized gravity via a massless tensor field with the mixed symmetry (4, 1) and an Abelian BF theory with a maximal field spectrum are constructed by means of deforming the solution to the master equation on behalf of specific cohomological techniques. Among the striking features of the coupled model, we mention that the gauge transformations of all fields are deformed and the main ingredients of the gauge structure are strongly modified during the deformation procedure.

Using the functional stochastic scheme, the gauge fixing term for linearized gravity is shown to be related to longitudinal modes within the framework of the usual set of momentum projection operators. A similar analysis is done for non-Abelian antisymmetric tensor field by replacing derivatives with covariant derivatives in all relevant equations and by constructing suitable operators for projecting out transverse and longitudinal modes.

AbstractGiven the recent renewed interest in alternative description of gravity theories in terms of topological BF models (possibly with extra-constraints) as well as in dual formulations of linearized gravity (DFLG), all consistent interactions in D=6 involving an Abelian BF model with a maximal field spectrum and the DFLG via a massless tensor field with the mixed symmetry of the type (3,1) are considered.
