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…
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…
Matter-coupled higher spin gravities in 3d: no- and yes-go results
Alexey Sharapov, Evgeny Skvortsov, Arseny Sukhanov
Massless higher-spin fields show no preference for any value of the cosmological constant in . All matter-free higher-spin gravities in 3d are equivalent to Chern-Simons theori…
Massive spin three-half field in a constant electromagnetic background
William Delplanque, Evgeny Skvortsov
Massive higher-spin fields are difficult to introduce consistent interactions, including electromagnetic and gravitational ones which are clearly exhibited by (non-elementary) high…
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…
Hidden sectors of Chern-Simons Matter theories and Exact Holography
Sachin Jain, Dhruva K. S, Evgeny Skvortsov
Chiral higher-spin gravity is a higher-spin extension of both self-dual Yang-Mills and self-dual gravity and is a unique local higher-spin gravity in four dimensions. Its existence…
