Journal ArticleDOI

A Calculus for Higher Spin Interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, higher spin theories can be efficiently described in terms of auxiliary Stuckelberg or projective space field multiplets, and these approaches can be unified in a conformal geometry/tractor calculus framework.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generating functions of (partially-)massless higher-spin cubic interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the number of consistent couplings increases whenever the squares of the field masses take some integer values (in units of the cosmological constant) and satisfy certain conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

On conformal higher spin wave operators

TL;DR: In this paper, the wave operators do not factorize in general, and identify the Weyl tensor and its derivatives as the obstruction to factorization, and give a manifestly factorized form for them on (A)dS backgrounds for arbitrary spin and on Einstein backgrounds for spin 2.

Snowmass Theory Frontier: Astrophysics and Cosmology

TL;DR: The TF09 "Astrophysics and Cosmology" topical group summary for the Theory Frontier as part of the Snowmass 2021 process as discussed by the authors summarizes progress made in theoretical astrophysics and cosmology over the past decade and areas of interest for the coming decade.
Journal ArticleDOI

A note on higher-order vertices of higher-spin fields in flat and (A)dS space

TL;DR: In this article, the authors classify homogeneous solutions to the Noether procedure in (A)dS for an arbitrary number of external legs and in general dimensions, and give a review of the corresponding flat space classification and its relation with the (A)-dS result presented here.
