Abelian 2-Form Gauge Theory: Basic Canonical Brackets and Nilpotency Property of Noether (Anti-)BRST Charges
This paper establishes the nilpotency and invariance of Noether (anti-)BRST charges in D-dimensional free Abelian 2-form gauge theory by deriving consistently modified charge versions that satisfy Dirac quantization conditions, utilizing basic canonical (anti)commutators, the Gauss divergence theorem, and equations of motion to overcome the limitations of standard Noether charges.
