Quantum Field Theory – Types of Fields  

In General > s.a. quantum gauge theories; tachyons; types of field theories.
* Higher-spin fields: At most two out of the three properties of unitarity, flat space, and non-trivial higher spin states can be satisfied; There is an incompatibility between pointlike localization and the Hilbert space formulation for interacting higher-spin fields; It can be resolved by passing to a Krein space setting, which leads to the BRST gauge formulation, or weakening the localization from pointlike to stringlike fields.
