Radiative corrections in vector-tensor models

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider a two-form antisymmetric tensor field phi minimally coupled to a non-abelian vector field with a field strength F. Canonical analysis suggests that a pseudoscalar mass term frac{mu^2}{2} r (phiwedge phi) for the tensor field eliminates degrees of freedom associated with this field. Explicit one loop calculations show that an additional coupling m r(phiwedge F) (which can be eliminated classically by a tensor field shift) reintroduces tensor field degrees of freedom. We attribute this to the lack of the renormalizability in our vector-tensor model. We also explore a vector-tensor model with a tensor field scalar mass term frac {mu^2}{2} r (phiwedgestar phi) and coupling m r(phiwedge star F). We comment on the Stueckelberg mechanism for mass generation in the Abelian version of the latter model.
