✦ Synopsis

The notion of a higher bundle gerbe is introduced to give a geometric realisation of the higher degree integral cohomology of certain manifolds. We consider examples using the infinite-dimensional spaces arising in gauge theories.

## Abstract The problem of determining all consistent non‐Abelian local interactions is reviewed in flat space‐time. The antifield‐BRST formulation of the free theory is an efficient tool to address this problem. Firstly, it allows to compute all on‐shell local Killing tensor fields, which are impo
