Boundary freedom in higher spin gravity
We investigate new boundary conditions in three-dimensional asymptotically Anti–de Sitter gravity coupled to higher-spin fields, allowing for arbitrary boundary degrees of freedom.

Chiral higher spin gravity [PDF]
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.

New conformal higher spin gravities in 3d [PDF]
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

Topologically massive higher spin gravity [PDF]
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.

Spin-locality of higher-spin theories and star-product functional classes
The analysis of spin-locality of higher-spin gauge theory is formulated in terms of star-product functional classes appropriate for the β → −∞ limiting shifted homotopy proposed recently in [1] where all ω 2 C 2 higher-spin vertices were shown to be spin-

Analysis of the first-order corrections to higher-spin equations is extended to homotopy operators involving shift parameters with respect to the spinor Y variables, the argument of the higher-spin connection ω(Y) and the argument of the higher-spin zero-

Cosmological shapes of higher-spin gravity [PDF]
We explore non-Gaussian features of a massless spin-two field in the Vasiliev theory of higher-spin gravity. The theory contains an infinite tower of interacting gauge fields with increasing spin, and admits four-dimensional asymptotically de Sitter configurations.

On BF-type higher-spin actions in two dimensions
We propose a non-abelian higher-spin theory in two dimensions for an infinite multiplet of massive scalar fields and infinitely many topological higher-spin gauge fields together with their dilaton-like partners.

Spin-locality of η 2 and η ¯ 2 $$ {\overline{\eta}}^2 $$ quartic higher-spin vertices
Higher-spin theory contains a complex coupling parameter η. Different higher-spin vertices are associated with different powers of η and its complex conjugate η ¯ $$ \overline{\eta} $$ .
