ABSTRACT: Under some plausible assumptions, we find that the dual formulation of linearized gravity in D=5 can be nontrivially coupled to the topological BF model in such a way that the interacting theory exhibits a deformed gauge
algebra and some deformed, on-shell reducibility relations. Moreover, the tensor field with the mixed symmetry (2,1) gains
some shift gauge transformations with parameters from the BF sector.

ABSTRACT: The local and manifestly covariant Lagrangian interactions in four spacetime dimensions that can be added to a free model
that describes a massless Rarita–Schwinger theory and an Abelian BF theory are constructed by means of deforming the solution
to the master equation using specific cohomological techniques.

ABSTRACT: The case of couplings in D = 5 between a simple, maximal BF model and the dual formulation of linearized gravity is considered. All the possible interactions are exhausted by means of computing the "free" local BRST cohomology in ghost number zero.

ABSTRACT: The topological Yang-Mills theory is quantized in an irreducible manner, at both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian levels. Our procedure resides in replacing the starting reducible generating set, respectively the reducible first-class constraints with some irreducible ones. The ghosts of ghosts will no longer appear. Some cohomological aspects are briefly discussed.
