Abstract

The consistent interactions between a single, free, massless tensor gauge field with the mixed symmetry (3,1)(3,1) and an Abelian pp-form are investigated in the framework of the BRST formalism combined with cohomological techniques. Under the assumptions on smoothness, locality, Lorentz covariance, and Poincar\'{e} invariance of the deformations, supplemented by the requirement that the interacting Lagrangian is at most second-order derivative, it is proved that for every value p1p\geq 1 of the form degree there are consistent couplings between the Abelian form and the massless (3,1)(3,1) gauge field.
