Augmented Superfield Approach to Nilpotent Symmetries of the Modified Version of 2D Proca Theory by A. Shukla, S. Krishna, R. P. Malik

“…For the sake of completeness, we also mention, very briefly, a unique bosonic symmetry, the ghost-scale symmetry, and discrete symmetries of the theory and show that the algebra of conserved charges provides a physical realization of the Hodge algebra (satisfied by the de Rham cohomological operators of differential geometry).…”
