In the model of extended non-Abelian tensor gauge fields we have found new metric-independent densities: the exact (2n+3)-forms and their secondary characteristics, the (2n+2)-forms as well as the exact 6n-forms and the corresponding secondary (6n-1)-forms. These forms are the analogs of the Pontryagin densities: the exact 2n-forms and Chern-Simons secondary characteristics, the (2n-1)-forms. The (2n+3)- and 6n-forms are gauge invariant densities, while the (2n+2)- and (6n-1)-forms transform non-trivially under gauge transformations, that we compare with the corresponding transformations of the Chern-Simons secondary characteristics. This construction allows to identify new potential gauge anomalies in various dimensions.

  1. Schwinger's non-commutative coordinates and duality between helicity and Dirac quantisation conditions

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Demanding associativity of the momentum translation operator for Schwinger's non-commuting coordinates of massless particles yields the helicity quantization λ=(ℏ/2)n, shown to be dual to Dirac's monopole quantization.
