Because of its versatility, the 2-form field has been employed to describe a
multitude of scenarios that range from high energy to condensed matter physics.
Pushing forward in this endeavor we study the interaction energy, intermediated
by this kind of field, between branes in a variety of configurations. Also, the
so-called Cremmer-Scherk-Kalb-Ramond model, which consists of the
electromagnetic field coupled to the Kalb-Ramond gauge potential, is
considered. It turns out that these models exhibit a much richer class of
sources than usually thought, able to intermediate novel forms of interactions
in different scenarios.Comment: 12 latex pages, more general result
