Higher Spin Gauge Field Theories. Aspects of dualities and interactions
S. Cnockaert
In this thesis, we present two aspects of higher-spin gauge field theories: dualities and interactions. We first consider dualities of the free theories at the level of the action.…
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…
Monopoles for Gravitation and for Higher Spin Fields
C. Bunster, S. Cnockaert, M. Henneaux +1
We consider massless higher spin gauge theories with both electric and magnetic sources, with a special emphasis on the spin two case. We write the equations of motion at the linea…
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…
Spin three gauge theory revisited
Xavier Bekaert, Nicolas Boulanger, Sandrine Cnockaert
We study the problem of consistent interactions for spin-3 gauge fields in flat spacetime of arbitrary dimension n>3. Under the sole assumptions of Poincaré and parity invariance,…
Lovelock Terms and BRST Cohomology
S. Cnockaert, M. Henneaux
Lovelock terms are polynomial scalar densities in the Riemann curvature tensor that have the remarkable property that their Euler-Lagrange derivatives contain derivatives of the me…
