Basic introduction to higher-spin theories

D Ponomarev - International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2023 - Springer
This is a collection of my lecture notes on the higher-spin theory course given for students at
the Institute for Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University …

Elementary particles with continuous spin

X Bekaert, ED Skvortsov - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2017 - World Scientific
Classical results and recent developments on the theoretical description of elementary
particles with “continuous” spin are reviewed. At free level, these fields are described by …

Conformal higher spin theory

AY Segal - Nuclear Physics B, 2003 - Elsevier
We construct gauge theory of interacting symmetric traceless tensors of all ranks s= 0, 1, 2,
3,… which generalizes Weyl-invariant dilaton gravity to the higher spin case, in any …

Lagrangian formulation of the massless higher integer spin fields in the AdS background

IL Buchbinder, A Pashnev, M Tsulaia - Physics Letters B, 2001 - Elsevier
We construct the Lagrangian description of arbitrary integer higher-spin massless fields on
the background of the D-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The operator constraints in …

Doubletons and 5D higher spin gauge theory

E Sezgin, P Sundell - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
We use Grassmann even spinor oscillators to construct a bosonic higher spin extension hs
(2, 2) of the five-dimensional anti-de Sitter algebra SU (2, 2), and show that the gauging of …

Continuous-spin particle field theory with helicity correspondence

P Schuster, N Toro - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We propose the first covariant local action describing the propagation of a single free
continuous-spin degree of freedom. The theory is simply formulated as a gauge theory in a …

Continuous-spin field propagator and interaction with matter

X Bekaert, J Mourad, M Najafizadeh - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract Action principles for the single and double valued continuous-spin representations
of the Poincaré group have been recently proposed in a Segal-like formulation. We address …

Gauge theory formulations for continuous and higher spin fields

VO Rivelles - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We consider a gauge theory action for continuous spin particles formulated in a spacetime
enlarged by an extra coordinate recently proposed by Schuster and Toro. It requires one …

Topologically massive higher spin gauge theories

SM Kuzenko, M Ponds - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We elaborate on conformal higher-spin gauge theory in three-dimensional (3D)
curved space. For any integer n> 2 we introduce a conformal spin-\(\frac {n}{2}\) gauge …

Off-shell supersymmetric continuous spin gauge theory

M Najafizadeh - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We construct, for the first time, an off-shell supersymmetric continuous spin gauge
theory in 4-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, in both constrained and unconstrained …
