Spin- projectors and gauge-invariant spin- actions in maximally symmetric backgrounds
Daniel Hutchings, Michael Ponds
Given a maximally symmetric -dimensional background with isometry algebra , a symmetric and traceless rank- field satisfying the massive Klein-Gordon…
Induced action for superconformal higher-spin multiplets using SCFT techniques
Sergei M. Kuzenko, James La Fontaine, Michael Ponds
Recently, the interacting superconformal higher-spin theory in four dimensions has been proposed within the induced action approach. In this paper we initiate a pro…
Conformal interactions between matter and higher-spin (super)fields
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Michael Ponds, Emmanouil S. N. Raptakis
In even spacetime dimensions, the interacting bosonic conformal higher-spin (CHS) theory can be realised as an induced action. The main ingredient in this definition is the model $…
Models for (super)conformal higher-spin fields on curved backgrounds
Michael Ponds
This thesis is devoted to the construction of theories describing the consistent propagation of (super)conformal higher-spin fields on curved three- and four-dimensional (super)spa…
AdS (super)projectors in three dimensions and partial masslessness
Daniel Hutchings, Sergei M. Kuzenko, Michael Ponds
We derive the transverse projection operators for fields with arbitrary integer and half-integer spin on three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space, AdS. The projectors are constru…
Higher-spin Cotton tensors and massive gauge-invariant actions in AdS
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Michael Ponds
In a conformally flat three-dimensional spacetime, the linearised higher-spin Cotton tensor is the unique conserved conformal current which is a gauge-inva…
AdS superprojectors
E. I. Buchbinder, D. Hutchings, S. M. Kuzenko +1
Within the framework of anti-de Sitter (AdS) supersymmetry in four dimensions, we derive superspin projection operators (or superprojectors). For a tensor superfie…
Generalised superconformal higher-spin multiplets
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Michael Ponds, Emmanouil S. N. Raptakis
We propose generalised superconformal higher-spin (SCHS) gauge multiplets of depth , , with . At the component level, for…
New locally (super)conformal gauge models in Bach-flat backgrounds
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Michael Ponds, Emmanouil S. N. Raptakis
For every conformal gauge field in four dimensions, with , a gauge-invariant action is known to exist in arbitrary conformally flat backgrounds. If…
Generalised conformal higher-spin fields in curved backgrounds
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Michael Ponds
The problem of constructing gauge-invariant actions for conformal higher-spin fields in curved backgrounds is known to be notoriously difficult. In this paper we present gauge-inva…
Spin projection operators in (A)dS and partial masslessness
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Michael Ponds
We elaborate on the traceless and transverse spin projectors in four-dimensional de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spaces. The poles of these projectors are shown to correspond to parti…
Conformal geometry and (super)conformal higher-spin gauge theories
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Michael Ponds
We develop a manifestly conformal approach to describe linearised (super)conformal higher-spin gauge theories in arbitrary conformally flat backgrounds in three and four spacetime…
Spin projection operators and higher-spin Cotton tensors in three dimensions
Evgeny I. Buchbinder, Sergei M. Kuzenko, James La Fontaine +1
We elaborate on the spin projection operators in three dimensions and use them to derive a new representation for the linearised higher-spin Cotton tensors.
Topologically massive higher spin gauge theories
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Michael Ponds
We elaborate on conformal higher-spin gauge theory in three-dimensional (3D) curved space. For any integer we introduce a conformal spin- gauge field $h_{(n)} =h…
