Unfolded Formulation of 4d Yang-Mills Theory
Abstract
In this note, we present a novel formulation of 4d pure Yang-Mills theory within the unfolded framework of Vasiliev higher-spin gravity. This formulation is first-order and exhibits manifest diffeomorphism and gauge invariance. Our approach builds upon a recently proposed unfolding method, previously applied to scalar electrodynamics. Additionally, we discuss the features of various unfolding maps defined by the unfolded equations.
