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 …

Nonlinear W∞ as asymptotic symmetry of three-dimensional higher spin AdS gravity

M Henneaux, SJ Rey - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
We investigate the asymptotic symmetry algebra of (2+ 1)-dimensional higher spin, anti-de
Sitter gravity. We use the formulation of the theory as a Chern-Simons gauge theory based …

Higher spin gauge theory and holography: the three-point functions

S Giombi, X Yin - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
In this paper we calculate the tree level three-point functi ons of Vasiliev's higher spin gauge
theory in AdS 4 and find agreement with the correlators of the free field theory of N massless …

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 …

More on quantum chiral higher spin gravity

E Skvortsov, T Tran, M Tsulaia - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Chiral higher spin gravity is unique in being the smallest higher spin extension of gravity and
in having a simple local action both in flat and (anti-) de Sitter spaces. It must be a closed …
