Cubic action for Spinning Black Holes from massive higher-spin gauge symmetry

Evgeny Skvortsov, Mirian Tsulaia

Scattering of two Kerr Black Holes emitting gravitational waves can be captured by an effective theory of a massive higher-spin field interacting with the gravitational field. Whil…

Strange higher-spin topological systems in 3D

Nicolas Boulanger, Andrea Campoleoni, Victor Lekeu +1

Motivated by the generation of action principles from off-shell dualisation, we present a general class of free, topological theories in three dimensional Minkowski spacetime that…

Strong Homotopy Algebras for Chiral Higher Spin Gravity via Stokes Theorem

Alexey Sharapov, Evgeny Skvortsov, Richard Van Dongen

Chiral higher spin gravity is defined in terms of a strong homotopy algebra of pre-Calabi-Yau type (noncommutative Poisson structure). All structure maps are given by the integrals…

Compton Amplitude for Rotating Black Hole from QFT

Lucile Cangemi, Marco Chiodaroli, Henrik Johansson +3

We construct a candidate tree-level gravitational Compton amplitude for a rotating Kerr black hole, for any quantum spin s=0,1/2,1,...,, from which we extract the correspon…

From higher-spin gauge interactions to Compton amplitudes for root-Kerr

Lucile Cangemi, Marco Chiodaroli, Henrik Johansson +3

We develop massive higher-spin theory as a framework for describing dynamics of rotating compact objects, such as Kerr black holes. In this paper, we explore gauge interactions up…

An excursion into the string spectrum

Chrysoula Markou, Evgeny Skvortsov

We propose a covariant technique to excavate physical bosonic string states by entire trajectories rather than individually. The approach is based on Howe duality: the string's spa…
