Title	Tensor gauge potentials in loop space formulation of Yang-Mills fields
Contributors	H-M Chan (SERC Rutherford Appleton Lab.), J Faridani (Oxford U.), ST Tsou (Oxford U.)
Abstract	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.
