New higher-spin curvatures in flat space
Nicolas Boulanger, Andrea Campoleoni, Simon Pekar
It was shown that the Lie algebra underlying higher-spin holography admits a contraction including a Poincaré subalgebra in any space-time dimensions. The associated curvatures, ho…
Ambient-space variational calculus for gauge fields on constant-curvature spacetimes
Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger, Maxim Grigoriev +1
We propose a systematic generating procedure to construct free Lagrangians for massive, massless and partially massless, totally-symmetric tensor fields on starting fro…
Diffusion in Phase Space as a Tool to Assess Variability of Vertical Centre-of-Mass Motion During Long-Range Walking
N. Boulanger, F. Buisseret, V. Dehouck +2
When a Hamiltonian system undergoes a stochastic, time-dependent anharmonic perturbation, the values of its adiabatic invariants as a function of time follow a distribution whose s…
Higher dualisations of linearised gravity and the algebra
Nicolas Boulanger, Paul P. Cook, Josh A. O'Connor +1
The non-linear realisation based on is known to describe gravity in terms of both the graviton and the dual graviton. We extend this analysis at the linearised level to…
Snowmass White Paper: Higher Spin Gravity and Higher Spin Symmetry
Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger, Andrea Campoleoni +5
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 gra…
Higher spins from exotic dualisations
Nicolas Boulanger, Victor Lekeu
At the free level, a given massless field can be described by an infinite number of different potentials related to each other by dualities. In terms of Young tableaux, dualities r…
