abstract
We find that the recently-proposed ghost-free interaction of a 2-form gauge field in four dimensions, which contains derivative couplings in a nonperturbative manner, can be regarded as a resummation of ghostly interaction terms. We investigate the higher derivative structure of this model in a minisuperspace description and demonstrate that the higher derivative terms can be removed by taking appropriate combinations of the Euler-Lagrange equations, while a truncation at a finite order spoils this structure. We also show that this nature is peculiar to four dimensions.
