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.

Lorentz covariance of the 4d nonlinear higher-spin equations via BRST
Physics Letters BWe 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 ...

On classification of (self-dual) higher-spin gravities in flat space
Journal of High Energy PhysicsThere 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

We propose a worldline formulation of higher-spin gravity (HSG) in $\mathrm{AdS}_4$, based on a simple twistor action. Taken at face value, the model describes only the free propagation of massless higher-spin fields. The central observation of this work is that the model admits a natural double-line interpretation, which supplies a geometric ...

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 ...

Scalar electrodynamics and Higgs mechanism in the unfolded dynamics approach
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe 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 ...

Differential contracting homotopy in the linearized 3D higher-spin theory
Physics Letters BIn this paper, the recently developed differential homotopy approach is applied to the problem of disentangling dynamical and topological fields of the 3d higher-spin gauge theory at the linear level.

On massive higher spins and gravity. Part IV. Arbitrary spin
Journal of High Energy PhysicsA bstract In this paper, we investigate gravitational interactions of massive fields with arbitrary integer and half-integer spin, trying to construct a vertex that contains both standard minimal and non-minimal interaction terms necessary to make the vertex gauge invariant ...
