Abstract

We examine interacting bosonic higher spin gauge fields in the BRST-antifield formalism. Assuming that an interacting action SS is a deformation of the free action with a deformation parameter gg, we solve the master equation (S,S)=0(S,S)=0 from the lower orders in gg. It is shown that choosing a certain cubic interaction as the first order deformation, we can solve the master equation and obtain an action containing all orders in gg. The anti-ghost number of the obtained action is less than or equal to two. Furthermore we show that the obtained action is lifted to that of interacting bosonic higher spin gauge fields on anti-de Sitter spaces.
