I Martin, A Restuccia, R Torrealba - Nuclear Physics B, 1998 - Elsevier
We prove that the Hamiltonian for the bosonic sector of D= 11 supermembrane theories,
wrapped in an irreducible way around S1× S1× M9 on the target manifold, only has strict …

New topological aspects of BF theories
MI Caicedo, A Restuccia - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
BF theories defined over non-trivial line bundles are studied. It is shown that such theories
describe a realization of a non-trivial higher-order bundle. The partition function differs from …

Massive gauge axion fields
PJ Arias, A Khoudeir - Modern Physics Letters A, 1999 - World Scientific
A gauge-invariant formulation for the massive axion is considered. The axion acquires mass
through a topological term which couples a (pseudo) scalar and a third rank antisymmetric …
