Theoretical aspects of massive gravity

K Hinterbichler - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2012 - APS
Massive gravity has seen a resurgence of interest due to recent progress which has
overcome its traditional problems, yielding an avenue for addressing important open …

Snowmass white paper: the cosmological bootstrap

D Baumann, D Green, A Joyce, E Pajer… - SciPost Physics …, 2024 - scipost.org
This white paper summarizes recent progress in the cosmological bootstrap, an approach to
the study of the statistics of primordial fluctuations from consistency with unitarity, locality and …

The cosmological bootstrap: weight-shifting operators and scalar seeds

D Baumann, CD Pueyo, A Joyce, H Lee… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract A key insight of the bootstrap approach to cosmological correlations is the fact that
all correlators of slow-roll inflation can be reduced to a unique building block—the four-point …

The cosmological bootstrap: spinning correlators from symmetries and factorization

D Baumann, C Duaso Pueyo, A Joyce, H Lee… - SciPost Physics, 2021 - scipost.org
We extend the cosmological bootstrap to correlators involving massless particles with spin.
In de Sitter space, these correlators are constrained both by symmetries and by locality. In …

higher spin gauge fields in anti de Sitter space of any dimension is provided. To make the …

Partial masslessness of higher spins in (A) dS

S Deser, A Waldron - Nuclear Physics B, 2001 - Elsevier
Massive spin s⩾ 3/2 fields can become partially massless in cosmological backgrounds. In
the plane spanned by m2 and Λ, there are lines where new gauge invariances permit …

Hilbert space of Quantum Field Theory in de Sitter spacetime

J Penedones, KS Vaziri, Z Sun - arXiv preprint arXiv:2301.04146, 2023 - arxiv.org
We study the decomposition of the Hilbert space of quantum field theory in $(d+ 1) $
dimensional de Sitter spacetime into Unitary Irreducible Representations (UIRs) of its …

Elements of Vasiliev theory

VE Didenko, ED Skvortsov - arXiv preprint arXiv:1401.2975, 2014 - arxiv.org
We propose a self-contained description of Vasiliev higher-spin theories with the emphasis
on nonlinear equations. The main sections are supplemented with some additional material …
