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…

On the deep superstring spectrum
Thomas Basile, Chrysoula Markou
We propose a covariant method of constructing entire trajectories of physical states in superstring theory in the critical dimension. It is inspired by a recently developed covaria…

Partially-massless higher spin algebras in four dimensions
Thomas Basile, Shailesh Dhasmana
We propose a realisation of partially-massless higher spin algebras in four dimensions in terms of bosonic and fermionic oscillators, using Howe duality between $sp(4,\mathbb R) \c…
