Abstract
No-go theorems on gauge-symmetry-deforming interactions of chiral p-forms are reviewed. We consider the explicit case of p=4, D=10 and show that the only symmetry-deforming consistent vertex for a system of one chiral 4-form and two 2-forms is the one that occurs in the type II B supergravity Lagrangian.
7 pages, tiny typo corrections, based on a talk given by M. H. at the conference "Constrained Dynamics and Quantum Gravity " held in Villasimius (Sardinia), September 13-17 1999, to appear in the proceedings of the meeting (Nucl. Phys. B Proc. Suppl.)
