Nonlocal quantum gravity: A review

L Modesto, L Rachwał - International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2017 - World Scientific
We hereby review a class of quantum gravitational theories based on weakly nonlocal
analytic classical actions. The most general action is characterized by two nonpolynomial …

Nonlinear higher spin theories in various dimensions

X Bekaert, S Cnockaert, C Iazeolla… - arXiv preprint hep-th …, 2005 - arxiv.org
In this article, an introduction to the nonlinear equations for completely symmetric bosonic
higher spin gauge fields in anti de Sitter space of any dimension is provided. To make the …

On higher spins and the tensionless limit of string theory

A Sagnotti, M Tsulaia - Nuclear Physics B, 2004 - Elsevier
We discuss string spectra in the low-tension limit using the BRST formalism, with emphasis
on the role of triplets of totally symmetric tensors and spinor-tensors and their …

String lessons for higher-spin interactions

A Sagnotti, M Taronna - Nuclear Physics B, 2011 - Elsevier
String Theory includes a plethora of higher-spin excitations, which clearly lie behind its most
spectacular properties, but whose detailed behavior is largely unknown. Conversely, string …

Tensor Gauge Fields in Arbitrary Representations of GL(D, ℝ). Duality and Poincaré Lemma

X Bekaert, N Boulanger - Communications in mathematical physics, 2004 - Springer
Using a mathematical framework which provides a generalization of the de Rham complex
(well-designed for p-form gauge fields), we have studied the gauge structure and duality …

Higher-spin gauge theories and bulk locality

C Sleight, M Taronna - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We present a no-go result on consistent Noether interactions among higher-spin gauge
fields on anti–de Sitter space-times. We show that there is a nonlocal obstruction at the …
