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…
