High order Cartan's homotopy formulae and the Algebraic approach to anomalies

  • 1. Physics Department, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York 11973

Description

The homotopy operators in high-dimensional parameter space are introduced and the high order Chern-Simons-like characteristic polynomials are precisely defined. These quantities are closely related to the algebraic approach to anomalies recently proposed by Faddeev
