We review the attempt to construct massless gauge field theories in Minkowski spacetime that go under the name of HS-YM. We present their actions and their symmetries. We motivate their gravitational interpretation. In particular we show how to recover the local Lorentz invariance, which is absent in the original formulation of the theories. Then we propose a perturbative quantization in the so-called frozen momentum frame. We discuss physical and unphysical modes and show how to deal with them. Finally we uncover the gauge symmetry hidden under such unphysical modes. This requires a nonlocal reformulation of the theory, which is, however, characterized by an augmented degree of symmetry.
