摘要：
It is developed, in a curved four-dimensional space-time, the quantum field theory of p-forms. In particular, from the Ward-Lichnerowicz identity [GRAPHICS] [GRAPHICS] = 0 it is shown how to treat the complications that appear in the quantum theory of p-forms because of the phenomenon of ghosts for ghosts. In addition, the expression of the renormalized stress-energy tensor associated to a p-form for a Hadamard state in an arbitrary gravitational background is given.
