Description

Abstrac: It is shown that an antisymmetric rank-two tensor gauge potential of the type first found in string and supersymmetry theories occurs also in ordinary Yang-Mills theory when formulated in loop space, where it appears as a Lagrange multiplier for a zero curvature constraint necessary and sufficient for removing the inherent redundancy of loop variables. It is then further shown that the tensor potential acts there as the parallel `phase' transport for monopoles. (hep-th/yymmnnn)
