A Comment on the Higher-Spin Gauge Models

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-02-28 v2

Abstract

We examine the higher-spin gauge models which are free on-shell and whose cubic vertex is BRST-exact. We show that these are free off-shell as well as on-shell. The key equation for this relates the derivative of the total deformed action S(g)S(g) with respect to the deformation parameter gg to an S(g)S(g)-exact term.
