I will discuss the generalization to p-forms of the Galileon idea: to construct the most general theory of an (abelian gauge invariant) p-form with (strictly) second order field equations. Such theory have recently be fully classified for space-time dimension strictly smaller than 12. The covariantization of these theories will also be discussed.
