Anyons, Deformed Oscillator Algebras and Projectors

Johan Engquist

We initiate an algebraic approach to the many-anyon problem based on deformed oscillator algebras. The formalism utilizes a generalization of the deformed Heisenberg algebras under…

Higher-spin dynamics and Chern-Simons theories

Johan Engquist, Olaf Hohm

We review the construction of consistent higher-spin theories based on Chern-Simons actions. To this end we first introduce the required higher-spin algebras and discuss curvature…

Geometry and dynamics of higher-spin frame fields

Johan Engquist, Olaf Hohm

We give a systematic account of unconstrained free bosonic higher-spin fields on D-dimensional Minkowski and (Anti-)de Sitter spaces in the frame formalism. The generalized spin co…

Higher-spin Chern-Simons theories in odd dimensions

Johan Engquist, Olaf Hohm

We construct consistent bosonic higher-spin gauge theories in odd dimensions D>3 based on Chern-Simons forms. The gauge groups are infinite-dimensional higher-spin extensions of th…

On Singleton Composites in Non-compact WZW Models

J. Engquist, P. Sundell, L. Tamassia

We examine the so(2,D-1) WZW model at the subcritical level -(D-3)/2. It has a singular vacuum vector at Virasoro level 2. Its decoupling constitutes an affine extension of the equ…

Singleton Strings

J. Engquist, P. Sundell, L. Tamassia

In this note, we briefly introduce singleton representations and discuss their relevance to the study of string and brane configurations in AdS space, their tensionless limit and t…
