TL;DR
This paper demonstrates that a U(1) gauge theory in the configuration space of closed p-branes can produce both a gauge theory for massless antisymmetric tensor fields and a Stueckelberg formalism for massive vector fields.
Contribution
It introduces a novel approach linking U(1) gauge theories with antisymmetric tensor fields and massive vector field formalisms via p-brane configuration space.
Findings
Derives gauge theory for massless antisymmetric tensor fields.
Establishes Stueckelberg formalism for massive vector fields.
Connects p-brane configuration space with gauge theories.
Abstract
We show that a U(1) gauge theory defined in the configuration space for closed p-branes yields the gauge theory of a massless rank-(p+1) antisymmetric tensor field and the Stueckelberg formalism for a massive vector field.
