Worldline Higher Spin Gravity

Minkyeu Cho, Euihun Joung, Taehwan Oh +1

We propose a worldline formulation of higher-spin gravity (HSG) in , based on a simple twistor action. Taken at face value, the model describes only the free propag…

Manifest duality and Lorentz covariance for linearised gravity as edge modes

Calvin Y. -R. Chen, Euihun Joung, Karapet Mkrtchyan

We present the first formulation of linearised gravity in four dimensions which is manifestly Lorentz covariant and democratic, i.e. treats the two frames related by electric-magne…

Extracting Edge Modes: Reduction of 3D and 2D Gravities

Euihun Joung, Sejin Kim

We investigate the boundary reduction of 3D Einstein gravity and JT gravity into their respective edge mode theories - namely, the Liouville and Alekseev-Shatashvili, and Schwarzia…

Higher-order chiral scalar from boundary reduction of 3d higher-spin gravity

Calvin Yi-Ren Chen, Euihun Joung, Karapet Mkrtchyan +1

We use a recently proposed covariant procedure to reduce the Chern-Simons action of three-dimensional higher-spin gravity to the boundary, resulting in a Lorentz covariant action f…

Manifestly Covariant Worldline Actions from Coadjoint Orbits. Part I: Generalities and Vectorial Descriptions

Thomas Basile, Euihun Joung, TaeHwan Oh

We derive manifestly covariant actions of spinning particles starting from coadjoint orbits of isometry groups, by using Hamiltonian reductions. We show that the defining condition…

Manifestly Covariant Worldline Actions from Coadjoint Orbits. Part II: Twistorial Descriptions

Euihun Joung, TaeHwan Oh

Worldline actions for various twistor particles in AdS spacetimes are constructed from the coadjoint orbits of , and as constrained Hamiltonian…
