Limiting shifted homotopy in higher-spin theory and spin-locality

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
Higher-spin vertices containing up to quintic interactions at the LagTangian level are explicitly calculated in the one-form sector of the non-linear unfolded higher-spin equations using a 𝛽 →-∞-shifted contracting homotopy introduced in the paper.

Massive spin 3 and Metric-Affine Gravity

Journal of High Energy Physics
Symmetric Metric-Affine Gravity is a theory of gravity with an independent non-metric connection, and zero torsion. It can be thought of as ordinary metric gravity coupled to a rank-3 tensor Q, symmetric in one pair of indices.

Charges in nonlinear higher-spin theory

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
Nonlinear higher-spin equations in four dimensions admit a closed two-form that defines a gauge-invariant global charge as an integral over a two-dimensional cycle.

On classification of (self-dual) higher-spin gravities in flat space

Journal of High Energy Physics
There is a great number of higher-spin gravities in 3d that can have both finite and infinite spectra of fields and can be formulated as Chern-Simons theories. It was believed that this is impossible in higher dimensions, where higher-spin fields do have

Cubic interactions of Maxwell-like higher spins

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We study the cubic vertices for Maxwell-like higher-spins in flat and (A)dS background spaces of any dimension. Reducibility of their free spectra implies that a single cubic vertex involving any three fields subsumes a number of couplings among ...

Lorentz covariance of the 4d nonlinear higher-spin equations via BRST

Physics Letters B
We propose a BRST extension of the higher-spin gauge theory in AdS4 with the BRST operator associated with the local Lorentz symmetry. Our construction supports manifest local Lorentz covariance and is applicable both to any homotopy scheme of the ...

Scalar electrodynamics and Higgs mechanism in the unfolded dynamics approach

Journal of High Energy Physics
We put forward a novel method of constructing unfolded formulations of field theories, which is based on initial fixation of the form of an unfolded field and subsequent looking for the corresponding unfolded equation as an identity that this field ...

Supersymmetric higher-spin gauge theories in any d and their coupling constants within BRST formalism

Journal of High Energy Physics
Nonlinear field equations for the supersymmetric higher-spin gauge theory describing totally symmetric bosonic and fermionic massless fields along with hook-type bosonic fields of all spins in any space-time dimension are presented.

4D higher spin black holes with nonlinear scalar fluctuations

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We construct an infinite-dimensional space of solutions to Vasiliev’s equations in four dimensions that are asymptotic to AdS spacetime and superpose massless scalar particle modes over static higher spin black holes. Each solution is obtained by a large
