Non-Abelian Antisymmetric-Vector Coupling from Self-Interaction

TL;DR

This paper derives a non-abelian coupling between antisymmetric tensor fields and Yang-Mills fields using the self-interaction mechanism, building on previous proposals by Freedman and Townsend.

Contribution

It provides a derivation of a non-abelian antisymmetric-vector coupling through the self-interaction approach, clarifying its theoretical foundation.

Findings

Derived the non-abelian coupling using self-interaction

Connected the coupling to Freedman and Townsend's earlier work

Enhanced understanding of antisymmetric tensor and Yang-Mills field interactions

Abstract

A non-abelian coupling between antisymmetric fields and Yang-Mills fields proposed by Freedman and Townsend several years ago is derived using the self-interaction mechanism.
