(p,q)-form Kähler electromagnetism

We present a gauge invariant generalization of Maxwell's equations and p-form electromagnetism to Kähler manifolds. The result is a detour operator connecting Dolbeault and dual Dolbeault cohomologies and derives from BRST detour quantization of the N=4 supersymmetry algebra. The form of the ne...

Summary:We present a gauge invariant generalization of Maxwell's equations and p-form electromagnetism to Kähler manifolds. The result is a detour operator connecting Dolbeault and dual Dolbeault cohomologies and derives from BRST detour quantization of the N=4 supersymmetry algebra. The form of the new equations mimics the linearized Einstein's equations and extends to more general geometric structures.
