We present a general analysis of gauge invariant, exact and metric independent forms which can be constructed using higher rank field-strength tensors. The integrals of these forms over the corresponding space-time coordinates provides new topological Lagrangians. With these Lagrangians one can define gauge field theories which generalize the Chern-Simons quantum field theory. We also present explicit expressions for the potential gauge anomalies associated with the tensor gauge fields and classify all possible anomalies that can appear in lower dimensions. Of special interest are those which can be constructed in four, six, eight and ten dimensions.

  1. Adjusting Higher Chern-Simons Theory

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors introduce half-adjusted higher Chern-Simons theories, obtained by a cotangent completion of adjusted L8-algebras, which admit consistent gauge transformations and equations of motion implying full flatness.
