Higher-derivative massive actions from dimensional reduction
Euihun Joung, Karapet Mkrtchyan
A procedure to obtain higher-derivative free massive actions is proposed. It consists in dimensional reduction of conventional two-derivative massless actions, where solutions to c…
Generating functions of (partially-)massless higher-spin cubic interactions
Euihun Joung, Luca Lopez, Massimo Taronna
Generating functions encoding cubic interactions of (partially-)massless higher-spin fields are provided within the ambient-space formalism. They satisfy a system of higher-order p…
A note on higher-derivative actions for free higher-spin fields
Euihun Joung, Karapet Mkrtchyan
Higher-derivative theories of free higher-spin fields are investigated focusing on their symmetries. Generalizing familiar two-derivative constrained formulations, we first constru…
Partial Masslessness and Conformal Gravity
S. Deser, E. Joung, A. Waldron
We use conformal, but ghostful, Weyl gravity to study its ghost-free, second derivative, partially massless (PM) spin 2 component in presence of Einstein gravity with positive cosm…
Solving the Noether procedure for cubic interactions of higher spins in (A)dS
Euihun Joung, Luca Lopez, Massimo Taronna
The Noether procedure represents a perturbative scheme to construct all possible consistent interactions starting from a given free theory. In this note we describe how cubic inter…
On the cubic interactions of massive and partially-massless higher spins in (A)dS
Euihun Joung, Luca Lopez, Massimo Taronna
Cubic interactions of massive and partially-massless totally-symmetric higher-spin fields in any constant-curvature background of dimension greater than three are investigated. Mak…
