Chiral approach to partially-massless fields
Thomas Basile, Shailesh Dhasmana, Evgeny Skvortsov
We propose a new (chiral) description of partially-massless fields in , including the partially-massless graviton, that is similar to the pure connection formulation for gravit…
On -dominance, shift symmetry and spin locality in higher-spin theory
V. E. Didenko, A. V. Korybut
The paper aims at the qualitative criterion of higher-spin locality. Perturbative analysis of the Vasiliev equations gives rise to the so-called -dominated non-localities which…
Light-cone gauge massive and partially-massless fields in AdS(4)
R. R. Metsaev
Using light-cone gauge approach, bosonic and fermionic massive and partially-massless fields in AdS(4) space are considered. For such fields, light-cone gauge action is presented.…
Restricted Gauge Theory Formalism and Unimodular Gravity
A. O. Barvinsky, D. V. Nesterov
We develop a Lagrangian quantization formalism for a class of theories obtained by the restriction of the configuration space of gauge fields from a wider (parental) gauge theory.…
Shifted Homotopy Analysis of the Linearized Higher-Spin Equations in Arbitrary Higher-Spin Background
A. A. Tarusov, K. A. Ushakov, M. A. Vasiliev
Analysis of the first-order corrections to higher-spin equations is extended to homotopy operators involving shift parameters with respect to the spinor variables, the argument…
Chiral higher-spin holography in flat space: the Flato-Fronsdal theorem and lower-point functions
Dmitry Ponomarev
We prove the flat space analogue of the Flato-Fronsdal theorem. It features the flat space singleton representation suggested recently. We do that by deriving a kernel that intertw…
Disentanglement of Topological and Dynamical Fields in 3d Higher-Spin Theory within Shifted Homotopy Approach
A. V. Korybut, A. A. Sevostyanova, M. A. Vasiliev +1
The first-order correction to the one-form sector of equations of the higher-spin theory is derived from the generating nonlinear HS system by virtue of the shifted homotopy a…
Spectral curves and -representations of matrix models
A. Mironov, A. Morozov
We explain how the spectral curve can be extracted from the -representation of a matrix model. It emerges from the part of the -operator, which is linear in tim…
A Flow in the Forest
Alexander Gorsky, Vladimir Kazakov, Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk +1
Using the matrix-forest theorem and the Parisi-Sourlas trick we formulate and solve a one-matrix model with non-polynomial potential which provides perturbation theory for massive…
Classical double copy and higher-spin fields
V. E. Didenko, N. K. Dosmanbetov
Kerr-Schild double copy is shown to extend naturally to all free symmetric gauge fields propagating on in any dimension. Similarly to the standard lower-spin case, the high…
Towards higher-spin holography in flat space
Dmitry Ponomarev
We study the chiral flat space higher-spin algebra, which is the global symmetry algebra of the chiral higher-spin theory in the 4d Minkowski space. We find that it can be construc…
More on Chiral Higher Spin Gravity and Convex Geometry
Alexey Sharapov, Evgeny Skvortsov, Arseny Sukhanov +1
Recently, a unique class of local Higher Spin Gravities with propagating massless fields in - Chiral Higher Spin Gravity - was given a covariant formulation both in flat and $…
AGT correspondence, (q-)Painlevè equations and matrix models
A. Mironov, V. Mishnyakov, A. Morozov +1
Painlevè equation for conformal blocks is a combined corollary of integrability and Ward identities, which can be explicitly revealed in the matrix model realization of AGT relatio…
Projectively-Compact Spinor Vertices and Space-Time Spin-Locality in Higher-Spin Theory
M. A. Vasiliev
The concepts of compact and projectively-compact spin-local spinor vertices are introduced. Vertices of this type are shown to be space-time spin-local, i.e. their restriction to a…
On holomorphic sector of higher-spin theory
V. E. Didenko
Recent investigation of locality problem for higher-spin fields led to a vertex reconstruction procedure that involved elements of contraction of the original Vasiliev interaction…
Calculations of vacuum mean values of spinor field current and energy-momentum tensor in a constant electric background
A. I. Breev, S. P. Gavrilov, D. M. Gitman
In the framework of strong-field QED with -steps, we study vacuum mean values of the current density and energy--momentum tensor of the quantized spinor field placed in the so-c…
Unfolded Dynamics Approach and Quantum Field Theory
Nikita Misuna
We study quantization of a self-interacting scalar field within the unfolded dynamics approach. To this end we find and analyze a classical unfolded system describing 4d off-shell…
Presymplectic BV-AKSZ formulation of Conformal Gravity
Ivan Dneprov, Maxim Grigoriev
We elaborate on the presymplectic BV-AKSZ approach to local gauge theories and apply it to conformal gravity. More specifically, we identify a compatible presymplectic structure on…
Superintegrability as the hidden origin of Nekrasov calculus
A. Mironov, A. Morozov
Once famous and a little mysterious, AGT relations between Nekrasov functions and conformal blocks are now understood as the Hubbard-Stratanovich duality in the Dijkgraaf-Vafa (DV)…
Overview of knot invariants at roots of unity
Liudmila Bishler
We discuss different invariants of knots and links that depend on a primitive root of unity. We clarify the definitions of existing invariants with the Reshetikhin-Turaev method, p…
Chiral approach to massive higher spins
Alexander Ochirov, Evgeny Skvortsov
We propose a new, chiral description for massive higher-spin particles in four spacetime dimensions, which facilitates the introduction of consistent interactions. As proof of conc…
On (spinor)-helicity and bosonization in
Evgeny Skvortsov, Yihao Yin
Helicity is a useful concept both for AdS and CFT studies. We work out the complete AdS/CFT dictionary for spinning fields/operators in the spinor-helicity…
Chiral Higher Spin Gravity in (A)dS and secrets of Chern-Simons Matter Theories
Alexey Sharapov, Evgeny Skvortsov
Chiral Higher Spin Gravity with cosmological constant is constructed as a Free Differential Algebra, i.e. at the level of equations of motion, which is a smooth deformation of its…
Bilinear character correlators in superintegrable theory
A. Mironov, A. Morozov
We continue investigating the superintegrability property of matrix models, i.e. factorization of the matrix model averages of characters. This paper focuses on the Gaussian Hermit…
