Abstract: (IOP)
The authors show that no self-interacting field theory for massless spin-3 fields exists (except in trivial ways). The three-point coupling can be constructed, but the four-point coupling cannot. They also describe an attempt to write down a gauge algebra which includes all massless spins, and comment on the relation to string theories.
