abstract

We consider the four dimensional abelian topological BF theory with a planar boundary introduced following the Symanzik's method. We find the most general boundary conditions compatible with the fields equations broken by the boundary. The residual gauge invariance is described by means of two Ward identities which generate an algebra of conserved currents. We interpret this algebra as canonical commutation relations of fields, which we use to construct a three dimensional Lagrangian. As a remarkable by-product, the (unique) boundary condition which we found, can be read as a duality relation between 3D dynamical variables.

hep-th · 2026-04-28 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

Schrödinger equation is locally equivalent to a non-relativistic gauge theory via one-form or two-form gauge fields on the probability current, with global topology from phase winding quantization.
