Higher-Spin Gauge Theories and Bulk Locality

TL;DR: The result suggests that the Fronsdal program for introducing interactions among higher-spin gauge fields cannot be completed without introducing new guiding principles, which could potentially lie beyond the framework of classical field theory.

Evaluating the AdS dual of the critical O(N) vector model

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the AdS dual of the critical O(N) vector model can be evaluated using the Legendre transform that relates the generating functionals of the free UV and the interacting IR flxed points of the boundary theory.

On the cubic interactions of massive and partially-massless higher spins in (A)dS

TL;DR: In this paper, the Stuckelberg formulation of the parity-invariant cubic interactions of massive and partially-massless totally-symmetric higher-spin fields in any constant-curvature background of dimension greater than three is investigated.

A fiber approach to harmonic analysis of unfolded higher-spin field equations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined indecomposable unitarizable Harish-Chandra modules consisting of standard massless particles plus linearized runaway solutions, and the harmonic expansion is taken over compact slices of that are unitarisable in a rescaled trace-norm rather than the standard Killing norm.

Equations of motion for massive spin-2 field coupled to gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of consistency and causality for the equations of motion describing massive spin two fields in external gravitational and massless scalar dilaton fields in arbitrary spacetime dimension was investigated.

Anomaly cancellations in supersymmetric D=10 gauge theory and superstring theory

TL;DR: In this article, a superstring theory for E 8 × 8 × E 8 has been constructed, based on SO(32) and the remaining pieces of all the anomalies cancel if the gauge group is SO (32) or E 8×E 8.

Vacuum configurations for superstrings

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied candidate vacuum configurations in ten-dimensional O(32) and E 8 × E 8 supergravity and superstring theory that have unbroken N = 1 supersymmetry in four dimensions.

Unified geometric theory of gravity and supergravity

TL;DR: In this article, a unified geometric formulation of gravitation and supergravity is presented, which is constructed out of the components of the curvature tensor for bundle spaces with four-dimensional Lorentz base manifold and structure groups Sp(4) for gravity and OSp(1, 4) for supergravity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Particles, Sources and Fields

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theory intermediate in position between operator field theory and S-matrix theory, which rejects the dogmas of each and gains thereby a calculational ease and intuitiveness that make it a worthy contender to displace the earlier formulations.

On the Theoretical Problems in Constructing Interactions Involving Higher Spin Massless Particles

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a gauge theory of self-interacting massless spin-3 particles which is analogous to Yang-Mills or the theory of gravity does not exist.
