Characteristic classes and numbers in differential topology (57R20) Eta-invariants, Chern-Simons invariants (58J28) Yang-Mills and other gauge theories in quantum field theory (81T13) Anomalies in quantum field theory (81T50)

Abstract: We investigate metric independent, gauge invariant and closed forms in the generalized YM theory. These forms are polynomial on the corresponding fields strength tensors - curvature forms and are analogous to the Pontryagin-Chern densities in the YM gauge theory. The corresponding secondary characteristic classes have been expressed in integral form in analogy with the Chern-Simons form. Because they are not unique, the secondary forms can be dramatically simplified by the addition of properly chosen differentials of one-step-lower-order forms. Their gauge variation can also be found yielding the potential anomalies in the gauge field theory.
