Higher-Spin Gauge Fields Interacting with Scalars: The Lagrangian Cubic Vertex
TL;DR: In this article, the Largangian cubic vertex of higher-spin gauge field triplets interacting with massive free scalars is constructed in flat space, where the spin-s triplet propagates the series of irreducible spin-S, s-2,.., 0/1 modes which couple independently to corresponding conserved currents constructed from the scalars.

Free massless higher superspin superfields on the anti-de Sitter superspace
TL;DR: In this paper, two families of dually equivalent gauge-invariant action functionals are constructed for massless half-integer superspin s+1/2 (s >= 2) and integer-superspin s(s >= 1) superfields.

Higher spin gauge fields interacting with scalars: the Lagrangian cubic vertex
TL;DR: In this paper, the Lagrangian cubic vertex of higher-spin gauge field triplets interacting with massive free scalars is constructed in flat space, where the spin-s triplet propagates the series of irreducible spin s, s−2,.., 0/1 modes which couple independently to corresponding conserved currents constructed from the scalars.

Higher Spin N=8 Supergravity
Ergin Sezgin,Per Sundell +1 more
TL;DR: The product of two N=8 supersingletons yields an infinite tower of massless states of higher spin in four dimensional anti de Sitter space as discussed by the authors, which are the generators of Vasiliev's super higher spin algebra shs^E (8|4).

First and second quantized point particles of any spin
TL;DR: The interplay between the, technically very different, gauge invariances of both levels of the theory has been extensively discussed as mentioned in this paper, and it has brought new interest and shed new light.

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
S. W. MacDowell,F. Mansouri +1 more
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.
