HS in flat spacetime. YM-like models
L. Bonora, M. Cvitan, P. Dominis Prester +2
We introduce and analyse a few examples of massless higher spin theories in Minkowski spacetime. They are defined in terms of master fields, i.e. fields defined in the whole phase…

Axial gravity: a non-perturbative approach to split anomalies
L. Bonora, M. Cvitan, P. Dominis Prester +3
In a theory of a Dirac fermion field coupled to a metric-axial-tensor (MAT) background, using a Schwinger-DeWitt heat kernel technique, we compute non-perturbatively the two (odd p…

Worldline quantization of field theory, effective actions and structure
L. Bonora, M. Cvitan, P. Dominis Prester +3
We formulate the worldline quantization of a massive fermion model coupled to external higher spin sources. We use the relations obtained in this way to show that its regularized e…
