COMMENTS ON HIGHER-SPIN SYMMETRIES [PDF]
International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics, 2009 The unconstrained frame-like formulation of an infinite tower of completely symmetric tensor gauge fields is reviewed and examined in the limit where the cosmological constant goes to zero. By partially fixing the gauge and solving the torsion constraints, the form of the gauge transformations in the unconstrained metric-like formulation are obtained ...

Candidate for the role of higher-spin symmetry [PDF]
Annals of Physics, 1987 Infinite-dimensional non-abelian superalgebras, related to interacting massless higher-spin fields of all spins s ⩾ 3/2, are proposed. Conditions are formulated that provide uniqueness for these higher-spin superalgebras, denoted as shsρ(1) (ρ = 0 or 1).

Higher spins and Yangian symmetries
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 The relation between the bosonic higher spin ${\cal W}_\infty[λ]$ algebra, the affine Yangian of $\mathfrak{gl}_{1}$, and the SH$^c$ algebra is established in detail. For generic $λ$ we find explicit expressions for the low-lying ${\cal W}_\infty[λ]$ modes in terms of the affine Yangian generators, and deduce from this the precise identification ...

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and Nambu–Goldstone bosons in quantum many-body systems [PDF]
, 2010 Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a general principle that constitutes the underlying concept of a vast number of physical phenomena ranging from ferromagnetism and superconductivity in condensed matter physics to the Higgs mechanism in the standard model

NON-ABELIAN BOSONIZATION AND HIGHER SPIN SYMMETRIES [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1996 The higher spin properties of non-Abelian bosonization in the classical theory are investigated. Both the symmetry transformation algebra and the classical current algebra for the non-Abelian free-fermionic model are linear Gel’fand–Dickey type algebras. However, for the corresponding WZNW model these algebras are different.

Chiral approach to partially-massless fields
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We propose a new (chiral) description of partially-massless fields in 4d, including the partially-massless graviton, that is similar to the pure connection formulation for gravity and massless higher spin fields, the latter having a clear twistor origin.

Holographic geometry of the renormalization group and higher spin symmetries [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2014 We consider the Wilson-Polchinski exact renormalization group applied to the generating functional of single-trace operators at a free-fixed point in $d=2+1$ dimensions. By exploiting the rich symmetry structure of free field theory, we study the geometric nature of the RG equations and the associated Ward identities.

Slightly broken higher spin symmetry: general structure of correlators [PDF]
, 2022 We explore a class of CFT’s with higher spin currents and charges. Away from the free or N = ∞ limit the non-conservation of currents is governed by operators built out of the currents themselves, which deforms the algebra of charges by, and together ...

Unfolded Fierz-Pauli equations in three-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We utilise a quotient of the universal enveloping algebra of the Poincaré algebra in three spacetime dimensions, on which we formulate a covariant constancy condition.

Twisted Flato-Fronsdal theorem for higher-spin algebras
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We explore the relation between the singleton and adjoint modules of higher-spin algebras via so(2, d) characters. In order to relate the tensor product of the singleton and its dual to the adjoint module, we consider a heuristic formula involving ...
