Topological couplings in higher derivative extensions of supersymmetric three-form gauge theories
Abstract We consider a topological coupling between a pseudo-scalar field and a 3- form gauge field in N = 1 $$ \mathcal{N}=1 $$ supersymmetric higher derivative 3-form gauge theories in four spacetime dimensions. We show that ghost/tachyon-free higher derivative Lagrangians with the topological cou...
