摘要

We continue to study a certain dynamical theory of 3-forms in seven dimensions, which can be viewed as a non-linear 7D analog of the 3D Abelian Chern-Simons theory. We perform the 6 + 1 split and show that the theory propagates three degrees of freedom. We also study the dimensional reduction on S-3. We find the resulting theory to be a variant of the 4D scalar-tensor theory of gravity.
