Is there any interacting quantum field theory of massless fields with helicity $\pm 1$ which can be expressed entirely locally in terms of the field strength Fμν with no reference to vector potentials at all? Clearly, quantum electrodynamics doesn't fall into this category. The Aharonov-Bohm effect is the reason.
Classically, it's easy to come up with many such theories, but unfortunately, they happen to be nonrenormalizable. But do asymptotically safe models exist?
