Journal ArticleDOI
String Theory and the Velo-Zwanziger problem
TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of the leading Regge trajectory of the open bosonic string in a uniform electromagnetic background was examined and a consistent set of Fierz-Pauli conditions for these symmetric tensors was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher-spin fermionic gauge fields and their electromagnetic coupling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the electromagnetic coupling of massless higher-spin fermions in flat space and derived consistent parity-preserving off-shell cubic 1 − s − s vertices under the assumptions of locality and Poincare invariance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multitrace deformations of vector and adjoint theories and their holographic duals
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of multitrace deformations in conformal theories admitting holographic duals in anti-sitter space was studied, and it was shown that these deformations introduce instability both in the bulk AdS space and in the boundary CFT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spinor-Helicity Three-Point Amplitudes from Local Cubic Interactions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors make an explicit link between the cubic interactions of off-shell fields and the on-shell three-point amplitudes in four dimensions, and derive the covariant form of all parity-odd massless vertices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher-Spin Theory of the Magnetorotons.
TL;DR: It is argued that these magnetorotons with dispersion minima are universal features of any two-dimensional Fermi surface coupled to a gauge field in a small background magnetic field.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
