Massive higher spins and holography
We review recent progress towards the understanding of higher spin gauge symmetry breaking in AdS space from a holographic vantage point. According to the AdS/CFT correspondence, N=4 SYM theory at vanishing coupling constant should be dual to a theory in

More on ``La Grande Bouffe'': towards higher spin symmetry breaking in AdS [PDF]
We discuss higher spin gauge symmetry breaking in AdS space from a holographic perspective. Indeed, the AdS/CFT correspondence implies that = 4 SYM theory at vanishing coupling constant is dual to a theory in AdS which exhibits higher spin gauge symmetry

Superspace formulation and correlation functions of 3d superconformal field theories [PDF]
We study $3d$ SCFTs in the superspace formalism and discuss superfields and on-shell higher spin current multiplets in free $3d$ SCFTs with $\mathcal{N}= 1,2,3,4$ and $6$ superconformal symmetry.

Precision spectroscopy and higher spin symmetry in the ABJM model [PDF]
We revisit Kaluza-Klein compactification of 11-d supergravity on $ {{{{S^7}}} \left/ {{{\mathbb{Z}_k}}} \right.} $ using group theory techniques that may find application in other flux vacua with internal coset spaces.

Off-shell higher-spin fields in AdS 4 and external currents
We construct an unfolded system for off-shell fields of arbitrary integer spin in 4d anti-de Sitter space. To this end we couple an on-shell system, encoding Fronsdal equations, to external Fronsdal currents for which we find an unfolded formulation.

Manifestly Conformal Descriptions and Higher Symmetries of Bosonic Singletons [PDF]
The usual ambient space approach to conformal fields is based on identifying the d-dimensional conformal space as the Dirac projective hypercone in a flat d+2-dimensional ambient space. In this work, we explicitly concentrate on singletons of any integer

On representations of Higher Spin symmetry algebras for mixed-symmetry HS fields on AdS-spaces. Lagrangian formulation [PDF]
We derive non-linear commutator HS symmetry algebra, which encode unitary irreducible representations of AdS group subject to Young tableaux Y(s1,…, sk) with κ ≥ 2 rows on d-dimensional anti-de-Sitter space.

Towards Unifying Structures in Higher Spin Gauge Symmetry [PDF]
This article is expository in nature, outlining some of the many still incompletely understood features of higher spin field theory. We are mainly considering higher spin gauge fields in their own right as free-standing theoretical constructs and not circumstances where they occur as part of another system.
