Mixed symmetry tensor fields and new topological invariants    [PDF]

George Georgiou, George Savvidy

In this article we demonstrate that a class of the non-Abelian tensor gauge fields can be extended to include fields of mixed symmetries and therefore allows to construct the new gauge invariant forms in 2n+4 and 2n+2 dimensions. These new forms are analogous to the Pontryagin-Chern-Simons densities in YM gauge theory and to the corresponding series of densities in 2n+3 and 6n dimensions constructed recently in arXiv:1205.0027.
