This is a direct consequence of the general analysis of the Wess-Zumino consistency condition for Yang-Mills theory that we have provided recently.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1995-01-27T09:29:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "yang-mills theory", "conserved currents", "gauge invariance", "free abelian gauge fields", "wess-zumino consistency condition" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 380348 } } }
