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…

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…

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…
