Consistent interactions of Curtright fields

Abstract Consistent self-interactions of Curtright fields (Lorentz tensors with (2, 1) Young diagram index symmetry) are constructed in dimensions 5 and 7. Most of them modify the gauge transformations of the free theory but the commutator algebra of the deformed gauge transformations remains Abelia...

description Abstract Consistent self-interactions of Curtright fields (Lorentz tensors with (2, 1) Young diagram index symmetry) are constructed in dimensions 5 and 7. Most of them modify the gauge transformations of the free theory but the commutator algebra of the deformed gauge transformations remains Abelian in all cases. All of these interactions contain terms cubic in the Curtright fields with four or five derivatives, which are reminiscent of Yang-Mills, Chapline-Manton, Freedman-Townsend and Chern-Simons interactions, respectively.
