Duality and fields redefinition in three dimensions

We analyze local fields redefinition and duality for gauge field theories in three dimensions. We find that both Maxwell-Chern-Simons and the Self-Dual models admits the same fields redefinition. Maxwell-Proca action and its dual also share this property. We show explicitly that a gauge-fixing term has no influence on duality and fields redefinition.Comment: 8 pages, suppressed contents.

Remarks on the BRST Cohomology of Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

The supersymmetric version of the descent equations following from the Wess-Zumino consistency condition is discussed. A systematic framework in order to solve them is proposed.Comment: 1+11 pages, LaTeX2

Equivalence classes for gauge theories

In this paper we go deep into the connection between duality and fields redefinition for general bilinear models involving the 1-form gauge field $A$. A duality operator is fixed based on "gauge embedding" procedure. Dual models are shown to fit in equivalence classes of models with same fields redefinitions
