Inconsistency of point-particle dynamics on higher-spin backgrounds: massive particles
Vyacheslav Ivanovskiy, Dmitry Ponomarev
Previously, we showed that massless scalar point particles cannot propagate on classical backgrounds of chiral higher-spin theory. This conclusion was derived from the analysis of…

Inconsistency of point-particle dynamics on higher-spin backgrounds
Vyacheslav Ivanovskiy, Dmitry Ponomarev
We use the light-cone gauge formalism to study interactions of point particles with massless higher-spin fields. By analysing the light-cone consistency conditions at the subleadin…
