Higher Spin Double Field Theory : A Proposal
arXiv:1605.00403 · doi:10.1007/JHEP07(2016)062
Abstract
We construct a double field theory coupled to the fields present in Vasiliev's equations. Employing the "semi-covariant" differential geometry, we spell a functional in which each term is completely covariant with respect to T-duality, doubled diffeomorphisms, local Lorentz symmetry and, separately, higher spin gauge symmetry. We identify a minimal set of BPS-like conditions whose solutions automatically satisfy the full Euler-Lagrange equations. As such a solution, we derive a linear dilaton vacuum. With extra algebraic constraints further supplemented, the BPS-like conditions reduce to the bosonic Vasiliev equations.
