Scalar Field on a higher-spin Background via Fedosov quantization
Thomas Basile, Shailesh Dhasmana, Evgeny Skvortsov
Conformal higher-spin gravity is the log-divergent part of the effective action of the scalar field coupled to background fields via higher-spin currents, as was defined by Segal a…

Electromagnetic Interactions of Massive Higher-Spin Fields in 3D via Chiral Theory
Alexey Sharapov, David Shcherbatov, Evgeny Skvortsov
We address the issue of electromagnetic interaction for massive higher-spin fields in Minkowski space. We show that consistent field equations can be obtained through the dime…

Symmetric vs. chiral approaches to massive fields with spin
William Delplanque, Evgeny Skvortsov
Massive higher spin fields are notoriously difficult to introduce interactions when they are described by symmetric (spin)-tensors. An alternative approach is to use chiral descrip…
