The consistent, local, smooth deformations of the dual formulation of linearized gravity involving a tensor field in the exotic representation of the Lorentz group with Young symmetry type (D-3,1) (one column of length D-3 and one column of length 1) are systematically investigated. The rigidity of the Abelian gauge algebra is first established. We next prove a no-go theorem for interactions involving at most two derivatives of the fields.

E8(8) (2014, background): “As the latter originate from components of the D “ 11 metric, this amounts to including in the theory components of a ‘dual graviton’ [23–26] at the full non-linear level, something that is considered impossible on the grounds of the no-go theorems in [27, 28].”
