摘要
Using a mathematical framework which provides a generalization of the de Rham complex (well-designed for p-form gauge fields), we have studied the gauge structure and duality properties of theories for free gauge fields transforming in arbitrary irreducible representations of GL(D, R). We have proven a generalization of the Poincare lemma which enables us to solve the above-mentioned problems in a systematic and unified way.
