Quantum theories of (p,q)-forms

Understand

We describe quantum theories for massless (p,q)-forms living on Kaehler spaces.

• In particular we consider four different types of quantum theories: two types involve gauge symmetries and two types are simpler theories without gauge invariances.
• The latter can be seen as building blocks of the former.
• Their equations of motion can be obtained in a natural way by first-quantizing a spinning particle with a U(2)-extended supersymmetry on the worldline.
