abstract

We study gauge theories of background fields associated to BRST quantized spinning particle models and identify background-independent algebraic structures which allow to systematically reduce the spectrum of fields and subject some of them to dynamical equations of motion. More specifically, we construct a manifestly background-independent extension of the model based on $N=2$ spinning particle. The resulting system describes an on-shell spin-1 field coupled to off-shell background fields including metric and dilaton. Tensoring with a given Lie algebra results in a non-abelian extension of the model.

  1. General Lagrangian formulations for mixed-antisymmetric tensor fields on flat backgrounds

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.5 of 10

    Lagrangian formulations for mixed-antisymmetric higher-spin fields with k-column Young tableaux are constructed via complete and incomplete BRST operators after converting constraints using Verma modules and Howe duality.

  2. Yang-Mills Theory From Super Moduli Space

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A spinning superparticle world-line path integral pulled back to super moduli space yields a space-time action that is Yang-Mills theory up to boundary terms and non-local corrections.
