Shift Symmetries in (Anti) de Sitter Space
James Bonifacio, Kurt Hinterbichler, Austin Joyce +1
We construct a class of extended shift symmetries for fields of all integer spins in de Sitter (dS) and anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. These generalize the shift symmetry, galileon sy…

A Partially Massless Superconductor
Kurt Hinterbichler, Austin Joyce
We describe a Higgs mechanism for the partially massless graviton. In order to do so, we first construct a covariant fracton-like effective field theory on de Sitter space that lin…
