On Forms with Non-Abelian Charges and Their Dualities

We describe forms with non-Abelian charges. We avoid the use of theories with flat curvatures by working in the context of topological field theory. We obtain TQFTs for a form and its dual. We leave open the question of getting gauges in which the form, or its dual, can be gauged away, in such way t...

description We describe forms with non-Abelian charges. We avoid the use of theories with flat curvatures by working in the context of topological field theory. We obtain TQFTs for a form and its dual. We leave open the question of getting gauges in which the form, or its dual, can be gauged away, in such way that the model has two dual formulations. We give the example of charged two-forms in six dimensions.
