We discuss a D-dimensional Abelian 3-form gauge theory within the framework
of Bonora-Tonin's superfield formalism and derive the off-shell nilpotent and
absolutely anticommuting Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST
symmetry transformations for this theory. To pay our homage to Victor I.
Ogievetsky (1928-1996), who was one of the inventors of Abelian 2-form
(antisymmetric tensor) gauge field, we go a step further and discuss the above
D-dimensional Abelian 3-form gauge theory within the framework of BRST
formalism and establish that the existence of the (anti-)BRST invariant
Curci-Ferrari (CF) type of restrictions is the hallmark of any arbitrary p-form
gauge theory (discussed within the framework of BRST formalism).Comment: LaTeX file, 8 pages, Talk delivered at BLTP, JINR, Dubna, Moscow
