The cohomological approach to the problem of consistent interactions between fields with a gauge freedom is reviewed. The role played by the BRST symmetry is explained. Applications to massless vector fields and 2-form gauge fields are surveyed.

  1. A note on partially massless supergravity

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Interactions of partially massless spin-2 with spin-3/2 fields are obstructed at second order unless a massless graviton is added, leading to N=1 conformal supergravity.

  2. General Lagrangian formulations for mixed-antisymmetric tensor fields on flat backgrounds

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.5 of 10

    Lagrangian formulations for mixed-antisymmetric higher-spin fields with k-column Young tableaux are constructed via complete and incomplete BRST operators after converting constraints using Verma modules and Howe duality.

  3. The auxiliary-deformed Breitenlohner-Maison model: duality frames and higher-dimensional origin

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Extends auxiliary deformations of the 2D BM model to the μ-frame and uplifts both frames to a 4D higher-derivative theory without manifest diffeomorphism invariance.

  4. Conserved charges and $L_\infty$ algebras

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A formula for conserved charges expressed solely via L_infinity algebra data for arbitrary Lagrangian theories, shown to recover the Brown-York surface charge in GR.
