The continuous spin limit of higher spin field equations
X. Bekaert, J. Mourad
We show that the Wigner equations describing the continuous spin representations can be obtained as a limit of massive higher-spin field equations. The limit involves a suitable sc…
Spin three gauge theory revisited
Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger, Sandrine Cnockaert
We study the problem of consistent interactions for spin-3 gauge fields in flat spacetime of arbitrary dimension n>3. Under the sole assumptions of Poincaré and parity invariance,…
Gauge invariants and Killing tensors in higher-spin gauge theories
Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger
In free completely symmetric tensor gauge field theories on Minkowski space-time, all gauge invariant functions and Killing tensor fields are computed, both on-shell and off-shell.…
Nonlinear higher spin theories in various dimensions
X. Bekaert, S. Cnockaert, C. Iazeolla +1
In this article, an introduction to the nonlinear equations for completely symmetric bosonic higher spin gauge fields in anti de Sitter space of any dimension is provided. To make…
Dynamics of Higher Spin Fields and Tensorial Space
I. Bandos, X. Bekaert, J. A. de Azcarraga +2
The structure and the dynamics of massless higher spin fields in various dimensions are reviewed with an emphasis on conformally invariant higher spin fields. We show that in D=3,4…
