Generalized quantum relativistic kinematics: A stability point of view

C Chryssomalakos, E Okon - International Journal of Modern …, 2004 - World Scientific
We apply Lie algebra deformation theory to the problem of identifying the stable form of the
quantum relativistic kinematical algebra. As a warm up, given Galileo's conception of …

Constraints and conserved charges for modified massive and massless Abelian 1-form and 2-form theories: a brief review

AK Rao, B Chauhan, RP Malik - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2024 - Springer
We demonstrate that the generators for the local, continuous and infinitesimal classical
gauge symmetry transformations in the cases of (1) the Stückelberg-modified massive …

Propagators and path integrals

JW Van Holten - Nuclear Physics B, 1995 - Elsevier
Path-integral expressions for one-particle propagators in scalar and fermionic field theories
are derived, for arbitrary mass. This establishes a direct connection between field theory and …

A field-theoretic model for Hodge theory

S Gupta, RP Malik - The European Physical Journal C, 2008 - Springer
We demonstrate that the four-dimensional (4D)((3+ 1)-dimensional) free Abelian 2-form
gauge theory presents a tractable field-theoretical model for the Hodge theory where the …

Rigid rotor as a toy model for Hodge theory

S Gupta, RP Malik - The European Physical Journal C, 2010 - Springer
We apply the superfield approach to the toy model of a rigid rotor and show the existence of
the nilpotent and absolutely anticommuting Becchi–Rouet–Stora–Tyutin (BRST) and anti …

Aspects of BRST quantization

JW Van Holten - Topology and geometry in physics, 2004 - Springer
BRST-methods provide elegant and powerful tools for the construction and analysis of
constrained systems, including models of particles, strings and fields. These lectures provide …

New topological field theories in two dimensions

RP Malik - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
It is shown that two (1+ 1)-dimensional (2D) free Abelian and self-interacting non-Abelian
gauge theories (without any interaction with matter fields) belong to a new class of …

Abelian 2-form gauge theory: superfield formalism

RP Malik - The European Physical Journal C, 2009 - Springer
We derive the off-shell nilpotent Becchi–Rouet–Stora–Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST
symmetry transformations for all the fields of a free Abelian 2-form gauge theory by …

Dual BRST symmetry for QED

RP Malik - Modern Physics Letters A, 2001 - World Scientific
We show the existence of a co (dual)-BRST symmetry for the usual BRST invariant
Lagrangian density of an Abelian gauge theory in two dimensions of space–time where a U …

Hodge decomposition theorem for Abelian two-form gauge theory

E Harikumar, RP Malik… - Journal of Physics A …, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
We show that the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST)/anti-BRST invariant (3+ 1)-dimensional
two-form gauge theory has further nilpotent symmetries (dual BRST/anti-dual BRST) that …
