Gauge invariance in the theory of antisymmetric tensor fields

Yu. N. Obukhov


Abstract: The classical and quantum theories of exterior differential forms are considered. It is shown that in the massless case they are generalized gauge fields and on quantization require the introduction of a set of additional ghosts. The possibility of describing the influence of the space-time topology on physical phenomena is discussed.
