Abstract
A novel inhomogeneous gauge transformation law is proposed for a non-Abelian adjoint two-form in four dimensions. Rules for constructing actions invariant under this are given. The auxiliary vector field which appears in some of these models transforms like a second connection in the theory. Another local symmetry leaves the compensated three-form field strength invariant, but does not seem to be generated by any combination of local constraints. Both types of symmetries change the action by total divergences, suggesting that boundary degrees of freedom have to be taken into account for local quantization.
