摘要
N-complexes have been argued recently to be algebraic structures relevant to the description of higher spin gauge fields. N-complexes involve a linear operator d that fulfills d(N) = 0 and that defines a generalized cohomology. Some elementary properties of N-complexes and the evidence for their relevance to the description of higher spin gauge fields are briefly reviewed.
