| Résumé : | We present a no-go result on consistent Noether interactions among higher-spin gauge fields on anti-de Sitter space-times. We show that there is a nonlocal obstruction at the classical level to consistent interacting field theory descriptions of massless higher-spin particles that are described in the free limit by the free Fronsdal action, under the assumption that such theories arise from the gauging of a global higher-spin symmetry. Our result suggests that the Fronsdal program for introducing interactions among higher-spin gauge fields cannot be completed without introducing new guiding principles, which could potentially lie beyond the framework of classical field theory. |
