KALB-RAMOND CLASSICAL FIELD THEORY IN CURVED SPACETIMES

Bertrand Berche (Personal webpage)

I will discuss possible extensions of Maxwell theory and illustrate with the case of Kalb-Ramond field theory. This theory was initially introduced as an interaction between strings and was later proposed as a possible source of torsion of spacetime. Here I will discuss the classical Kalb-Ramond theory as an alternative to Maxwell electrodynamics and I will show examples in various curved spacetimes.
