We present the derivation of conserved tensors associated to higher-order symmetries in the higher derivative Maxwell Abelian gauge field theories. In our model, the wave operator of the higher derived theory is a $n$-th order polynomial expressed in terms of the usual Maxwell operator. Any symmetry of the primary wave operator gives rise to a collection of independent higher-order symmetries of the field equations which thus leads to a series of independent conserved quantities of derived system. In particular, by the extension of Noethers theorem, the spacetime translation invariance of the Maxwell primary operator results in the series of conserved second-rank tensors which includes the standard canonical energy-momentum tensors. Although this canonical energy is unbounded from below, by introducing a set of parameters, the other conserved tensors in the series can be bounded which ensure the stability of the higher derivative dynamics. In addition, with the aid of auxiliary fields, we successfully obtain the relations between the roots decomposition of characteristic polynomial of the wave operator and the conserved energy-momentum tensors within the context of another equivalent lower-order representation. Under the certain conditions, the 00-component of the linear combination of these conserved quantities is bounded and by this reason, the original derived theory is considered stable. Finally, as an instructive example, we discuss the third-order derived system and analyze extensively the stabilities in different cases of roots decomposition.

The status of classical stability in higher-derivative systems is still subject to discussions. In this note, we argue that, contrary to general belief, many higher-derivative systems are classically stable. The main tool to see this property are Nekhoroshevs estimates relying on the action-angle formulation of classical mechanics. The latter formulation can be reached provided the Hamiltonian is separable, which is the case for higher-derivative harmonic oscillators. The Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillators appear to be the only type of higher-derivative harmonic oscillator with stable classical dynamics. A wide class of interaction potentials can even be added that preserve classical stability. Adiabatic invariants are built in the case of a Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator slowly changing in time; it is shown indeed that the dynamical stability is not jeopardised by the time-dependent perturbation.
Gauge field theory with rank-one field $T_{mu}$ is a quantum field theory that describes the interaction of elementary spin-1 particles, of which being massless to preserve gauge symmetry. In this paper, we give a generalized, extended study of abelian gauge field theory under successive rotor model in general $D$-dimensional flat spacetime for spin-1 particles in the context of higher order derivatives. We establish a theorem that $n$ rotor contributes to the $Box^n T^{mu}$ fields in the integration-by-parts formalism of the action. This corresponds to the transformation of gauge field $T^{mu} rightarrow Box^n T^{mu}$ and gauge field strength $G_{mu u}rightarrow Box^n G_{mu u} $ in the action. The $n=0$ case restores back to the standard abelian gauge field theory. The equation of motion and Noethers conserved current of the theory are also studied.
The Olbertian partition function is reformulated in terms of continuous (Abelian) fields described by the Landau-Ginzburg action, respectively Hamiltonian. In order do make some progress, the Gaussian approximation to the partition function is transformed into the Olbertian prior to adding the quartic Landau-Ginzburg term in the Hamiltonian. The final result is provided in the form of an expansion suitable for application of diagrammatic techniques once the nature of the field is given, i.e. once the field equations are written down such that the interactions can be formulated.
A generalized Heisenberg-Euler formula is given for an Abelian gauge theory having vector as well as axial vector couplings to a massive fermion. So, the formula is applicable to a parity-violating theory. The gauge group is chosen to be $U(1)$. The formula is quite similar to that in quantum electrodynamics, but there is a complexity in which one factor (related to spin) is expressed in terms of the expectation value. The expectation value is evaluated by the contraction with the one-dimensional propagator in a given background field. The formula affords a basis to the vacuum magnetic birefringence experiment, which aims to probe the dark sector, where the interactions of the light fermions with the gauge fields are not necessarily parity conserving.
We compute the topological entanglement entropy for a large set of lattice models in $d$-dimensions. It is well known that many such quantum systems can be constructed out of lattice gauge models. For dimensionality higher than two, there are generalizations going beyond gauge theories, which are called higher gauge theories and rely on higher-order generalizations of groups. Our main concern is a large class of $d$-dimensional quantum systems derived from Abelian higher gauge theories. In this paper, we derive a general formula for the bipartition entanglement entropy for this class of models, and from it we extract both the area law and the sub-leading terms, which explicitly depend on the topology of the entangling surface. We show that the entanglement entropy $S_A$ in a sub-region $A$ is proportional to $log(GSD_{tilde{A}})$, where (GSD_{tilde{A}}) is the ground state degeneracy of a particular restriction of the full model to (A). The quantity $GSD_{tilde{A}}$ can be further divided into a contribution that scales with the size of the boundary $partial A$ and a term which depends on the topology of $partial A$. There is also a topological contribution coming from $A$ itself, that may be non-zero when $A$ has a non-trivial homology. We present some examples and discuss how the topology of $A$ affects the topological entropy. Our formalism allows us to do most of the calculation for arbitrary dimension $d$. The result is in agreement with entanglement calculations for known topological models.
