Conformal supergravity

ES Fradkin, AA Tseytlin - Physics Reports, 1985 - Elsevier
We give a review of conformal supergravity considered as a candidate for a fundamental
theory describing physics at Planck distances. Conformal supergravities are supersymmetric …

Basic introduction to higher-spin theories

D Ponomarev - International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2023 - Springer
This is a collection of my lecture notes on the higher-spin theory course given for students at
the Institute for Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University …

Limits on massless particles

S Weinberg, E Witten - Physics Letters B, 1980 - Elsevier
We show that in all theories with a Lorentz-covariant energy-momentum tensor, such as all
known renormalizable quantum field theories, composite as well as elementary massless …

On the gravitational interaction of massless higher-spin fields

ES Fradkin, MA Vasiliev - Physics Letters B, 1987 - Elsevier
We show that, despite a widespread belief, the gravitational interaction of massless higher-
spin fields (s> 2) does exist at least in the first nontrivial order. The principal novel feature of …

Snowmass white paper: higher spin gravity and higher spin symmetry

X Bekaert, N Boulanger, A Campoleoni… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Higher Spin Gravity refers to extensions of gravity including at least one field of spin greater
than two. These extensions are expected to provide manageable models of quantum gravity …

Higher spin gauge theories: Star-product and AdS space

MA Vasiliev - The many faces of the superworld: Yuri Golfand …, 2000 - World Scientific
We review the theory of higher spin gauge fields in 2+ 1 and 3+ 1 dimensional anti-de Sitter
space and present some new results on the structure of higher spin currents and explicit …

Cubic interaction in extended theories of massless higher-spin fields

ES Fradkin, MA Vasiliev - Nuclear Physics B, 1987 - Elsevier
A cubic interaction of all massless higher-spin fields with s⩾ 1 is constructed, based on the
extended higher-spin superalgebras suggested previously by one of us (MV). This …

More on equations of motion for interacting massless fields of all spins in 3+ 1 dimensions

MA Vasiliev - Physics Letters B, 1992 - Elsevier
We establish the simple link between the recently proposed equations of motion for
interacting massless fields of all spins 0⩽ s<∞ in 3+ 1 dimensions and conventional …

Partial masslessness of higher spins in (A) dS

S Deser, A Waldron - Nuclear Physics B, 2001 - Elsevier
Massive spin s⩾ 3/2 fields can become partially massless in cosmological backgrounds. In
the plane spanned by m2 and Λ, there are lines where new gauge invariances permit …
