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 …

From dS to AdS and back

C Sleight, M Taronna - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We describe in more detail the general relation uncovered in our previous work
between boundary correlators in de Sitter (dS) and in Euclidean anti-de Sitter (EAdS) space …

Bootstrapping inflationary correlators in Mellin space

C Sleight, M Taronna - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We develop a Mellin space approach to boundary correlation functions in anti-de
Sitter (AdS) and de Sitter (dS) spaces. Using the Mellin-Barnes representation of correlators …

A Mellin space approach to cosmological correlators

C Sleight - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We propose a Mellin space approach to the evaluation of late-time momentum-
space correlation functions of quantum fields in (d+ 1)-dimensional de Sitter space. The …

Snowmass white paper: higher spin gravity and higher spin symmetry

X Bekaert, N Boulanger, A Campoleoni… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Higher Spin Gravity refers to extensions of gravity including at least one field of spin greater
than two. These extensions are expected to provide manageable models of quantum gravity …

Quantum de Sitter horizon entropy from quasicanonical bulk, edge, sphere and topological string partition functions

D Anninos, F Denef, YT Law, Z Sun - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Motivated by the prospect of constraining microscopic models, we calculate the
exact one-loop corrected de Sitter entropy (the logarithm of the sphere partition function) for …

All point correlation functions in SYK

DJ Gross, V Rosenhaus - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract Large N melonic theories are characterized by two-point function Feynman
diagrams built exclusively out of melons. This leads to conformal invariance at strong …

Light-front higher-spin theories in flat space

D Ponomarev, E Skvortsov - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We revisit the problem of interactions of higher-spin fields in flat space. We argue that all no-
go theorems can be avoided by the light-cone approach, which results in more interaction …

A derivation of AdS/CFT for vector models

O Aharony, SM Chester, EY Urbach - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We explicitly rewrite the path integral for the free or critical O (N)(or U (N)) bosonic
vector models in d space-time dimensions as a path integral over fields (including massless …

Interactions in higher-spin gravity: a holographic perspective

C Sleight - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
This review is an elaboration of recent results on the holographic re-construction of metric-
like interactions in higher-spin gauge theories on anti-de Sitter space (AdS), employing their …
