Abstract

We study the 3-form gauge theory in the context of generalized BRST formulation. We construct the finite field-dependent BRST symmetry for such a theory. The generating functional for 3-form gauge theory in noncovariant gauge is obtained from that of covariant gauge. We further extend the results by considering 3-form gauge theory in the context of Batalin–Vilkovisky formulation.
