From Higher Spins to Strings: A Primer
Rakibur Rahman, Massimo Taronna
A contribution to the collection of reviews "Introduction to Higher Spin Theory" edited by S. Fredenhagen, this introductory article is a pedagogical account of higher-spin fields…
On Locality, Holography and Unfolding
E. D. Skvortsov, Massimo Taronna
We study the functional class and locality problems in the context of higher-spin theories and Vasiliev's equations. A locality criterion that is sufficient to make higher-spin the…
Higher Spin Interactions in Four Dimensions: Vasiliev vs. Fronsdal
Nicolas Boulanger, Pan Kessel, E. D. Skvortsov +1
We consider four-dimensional Higher-Spin Theory at the first nontrivial order corresponding to the cubic action. All Higher-Spin interaction vertices are explicitly obtained from V…
Higher Spins and Matter Interacting in Dimension Three
Pan Kessel, Gustavo Lucena Gomez, E. D. Skvortsov +1
The spectrum of Prokushkin--Vasiliev Theory is puzzling in light of the Gaberdiel--Gopakumar conjecture because it generically contains an additional sector besides higher-spin gau…
