The Lagrangian of non-Abelian tensor gauge fields describes the interaction of the Yang-Mills and massless tensor bosons of increasing helicities. We have found a metric-independent gauge invariant density which is a four-dimensional analog of the Chern-Simons density. The Lagrangian augmented by this Chern-Simons-like invariant describes massive Yang-Mills boson, providing a gauge-invariant mass gap for a four-dimensional gauge field theory. We present invariant densities which can provide masses to the high rank tensor bosons.

  1. Schwinger's non-commutative coordinates and duality between helicity and Dirac quantisation conditions

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Demanding associativity of the momentum translation operator for Schwinger's non-commuting coordinates of massless particles yields the helicity quantization λ=(ℏ/2)n, shown to be dual to Dirac's monopole quantization.
