Deriving field theories for particles of arbitrary spin with and without supersymmetry

Abstract

We review the derivation of light-cone interaction vertices for fermionic and bosonic fields of arbitrary spin. The resulting amplitudes and their factorization properties are discussed. We then show how this symmetry-based approach works for theories with extended supersymmetry like N=4 Yang-Mills theory and N=8 supergravity.
