- Description
- A gauge theory of self-dual field is constructed by adding a Wess-Zumino term to the recently studied formulation based on a second order scalar field Lagrangian carrying with it an auxiliary vector field to take care of the self-duality constraint in a linear fashion. The two versions are quantized using the BRST formulation following the BFV procedure. No violation of microcausality occurs and the action of ordinary scalar field may not be written as the sum of the actions of the self-and anti-self-dual fields.
