Recently proposed extension of Yang-Mills theory contains non-Abelian tensor gauge fields. The Lagrangian has quadratic kinetic terms, as well as cubic and quartic terms describing non-linear interaction of tensor gauge fields with the dimensionless coupling constant. We analyze particle content of non-Abelian tensor gauge fields. In four-dimensional space-time the rank-2 gauge field describes propagating modes of helicity 2 and 0. We introduce interaction of the non-Abelian tensor gauge field with fermions and demonstrate that the free equation of motion for the spin-vector field correctly describes the propagation of massless modes of helicity 3/2. We have found a new metric-independent gauge invariant density which is a four-dimensional analog of the Chern-Simons density. The Lagrangian augmented by this Chern-Simons-like invariant describes massive Yang-Mills boson, providing a gauge-invariant mass gap for a four-dimensional gauge field theory.

Schwinger's non-commutative coordinates and duality between helicity and Dirac quantisation conditions
Demanding associativity of the momentum translation operator for Schwinger's non-commuting coordinates of massless particles yields the helicity quantization λ=(ℏ/2)n, shown to be dual to Dirac's monopole quantization.
