%0 Journal Article %T Exotic Gauge Theories from Tensor Calculus %A Friedemann Brandt %A Joan Simon %A Ulrich Theis %J Physics %D 1999 %I arXiv %R 10.1088/0264-9381/17/7/304 %X We construct non-standard interactions between exterior form gauge fields by gauging a particular global symmetry of the Einstein-Maxwell action for such fields. Furthermore we discuss generalizations of such interactions by adding couplings to gravitational Chern-Simons forms and to fields arising through dimensional reduction. The construction uses an appropriate tensor calculus. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9910177v2
