Résumé :

We present a review of the homological algebra tools involved in the standard de Rham theory and their subsequent generalizations relevant for the understanding of free massless higher spin gauge structure. M-theory arguments suggest the existence of an extension of (Abelian) S-duality symmetry for non-Abelian gauge theories, such as the four-dimensional Yang-Mills or Einstein theories. Some no-go theorems prove that this extension, if it exists, should fall outside the scope of local perturbative field theory.
