Minimal model of Chiral Higher Spin Gravity
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 A bstract A unique class of local Higher Spin Gravities with propagating massless fields in 4 d — Chiral Higher Spin Gravity — was first found in the light-cone gauge.

One-loop finiteness of Chiral Higher Spin Gravity [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 Abstract One of the main ideas behind Higher Spin Gravities is that the higher spin symmetry is expected to leave no room for counterterms, thereby eliminating UV divergences that make the pure gravity non-renormalizable. However, until recently it has not been clear if such a mechanism is realized.

Rainbow vacua of colored higher-spin (A)dS3 gravity [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 We study the color-decoration of higher-spin (anti)-de Sitter gravity in three dimensions. We show that the rainbow vacua, which we found recently for the colored gravity theory, also pertain in the colored higher-spin theory. The color singlet spin-two plays the role of first fundamental form (metric).

Global and local properties of AdS 2 higher spin gravity [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 Two-dimensional BF theory with infinitely many higher spin fields is proposed. It is interpreted as the AdS(2) higher spin gravity model describing a consistent interaction between local fields in AdS(2) space including gravitational field, higher spin partially-massless fields, and dilaton fields. We carry out analysis of the frame-like and the metric-

Actions for self-dual Higher Spin Gravities [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 Abstract Higher Spin Gravities are scarce, but covariant actions for them are even scarcer. We construct covariant actions for contractions of Chiral Higher Spin Gravity that represent higher spin extensions of self-dual Yang-Mills and self-dual Gravity theories.

On the spectrum of pure higher spin gravity [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 Abstract We study the spectrum of pure massless higher spin theories in AdS3. The light spectrum is given by a tower of massless particles of spin s = 2, ⋯ , N and their multi-particles states. Their contribution to the torus partition function organises into the vacuum character of the $$ {\mathcal{W}}_N $$

New conformal higher spin gravities in 3d [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 Abstract We propose a new class of conformal higher spin gravities in three dimensions, which extends the one by Pope and Townsend. The main new feature is that there are infinitely many examples of the new theories with a finite number of higher spin fields, much as in the massless case. The action has the Chern-Simons form for a higher spin extension

Chiral higher spin gravity [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2017 We construct a candidate for the most general chiral higher spin theory with AdS$_3$ boundary conditions. In the Chern-Simons language, on the left it has the Drinfeld-Sokolov reduced form, but on the right all charges and chemical potentials are turned on. Altogether (for the spin-3 case) these are $19$ functions.

Topologically massive higher spin gravity [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011 We look at the generalisation of topologically massive gravity (TMG) to higher spins, specifically spin-3. We find a special "chiral" point for the spin-three, analogous to the spin-two example, which actually coincides with the usual spin-two chiral point.
