Higher spin interactions: cubic deformations on Minkowski and (Anti)de Sitter backgrounds
Serge Leclercq
In the thesis, results presented in various papers involving the author are reviewed. First, general results about consistent deformations at first order (i.e. cubic) using the ant…
Strong obstruction of the Berends-Burgers-van Dam spin-3 vertex
Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger, Serge Leclercq
In the eighties, Berends, Burgers and van Dam (BBvD) found a nonabelian cubic vertex for self-interacting massless fields of spin three in flat spacetime. However, they also found…
Consistent couplings between spin-2 and spin-3 massless fields
Nicolas Boulanger, Serge Leclercq
We solve the problem of constructing consistent first-order cross-interactions between spin-2 and spin-3 massless fields in flat spacetime of arbitrary dimension n > 3 and in such…
On Killing tensors and cubic vertices in higher-spin gauge theories
Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger, Sandrine Cnockaert +1
The problem of determining all consistent non-Abelian local interactions is reviewed in flat space-time. The antifield-BRST formulation of the free theory is an efficient tool to a…
Parity violating vertices for spin-3 gauge fields
Nicolas Boulanger, Sandrine Cnockaert, Serge Leclercq
The problem of constructing consistent parity-violating interactions for spin-3 gauge fields is considered in Minkowski space. Under the assumptions of locality, Poincaré invarianc…
Classification of surface charges for a spin 2 field on a curved background solution
Glenn Barnich, Serge Leclercq, Philippe Spindel
We give an explicit proof of the result that non trivial conserved n-2 forms for a spin 2 field on a background corresponding to a solution to Einstein's equation (with or without…
