Chiral approach to partially-massless fields
Thomas Basile, Shailesh Dhasmana, Evgeny Skvortsov
We propose a new (chiral) description of partially-massless fields in , including the partially-massless graviton, that is similar to the pure connection formulation for gravit…
Covariant action for conformal higher spin gravity
Thomas Basile, Maxim Grigoriev, Evgeny Skvortsov
Conformal Higher Spin Gravity is a higher spin extension of Weyl gravity and is a family of local higher spin theories, which was put forward by Segal and Tseytlin. We propose a ma…
Kerr Black Holes From Massive Higher-Spin Gauge Symmetry
Lucile Cangemi, Marco Chiodaroli, Henrik Johansson +3
We propose that the dynamics of Kerr black holes is strongly constrained by the principle of gauge symmetry. We initiate the construction of EFTs for Kerr black holes of any intege…
Higher-Spin Self-Dual Yang-Mills and Gravity from the twistor space
Yannick Herfray, Kirill Krasnov, Evgeny Skvortsov
We lift the recently proposed theories of higher-spin self-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) and gravity (SDGR) to the twistor space. We find that the most natural room for the twistor formul…
More on Chiral Higher Spin Gravity and Convex Geometry
Alexey Sharapov, Evgeny Skvortsov, Arseny Sukhanov +1
Recently, a unique class of local Higher Spin Gravities with propagating massless fields in - Chiral Higher Spin Gravity - was given a covariant formulation both in flat and $…
Infinite distances in multicritical CFTs and higher-spin holography
Ivano Basile, Andrea Campoleoni, Simon Pekar +1
We investigate the swampland distance conjecture in higher-spin gravity. To this end, we study multicritical generalizations of large- vector models, bosonic and fermionic, and…
