E.S. Fradkin,Mikhail A. Vasiliev +1 more
TLDR
A cubic interaction of all massless higher-spin fields with s ⩾ 1 is constructed, based on the extended higher spin superalgebras suggested previously by one of us.About:

Light-Front Quantization and AdS/QCD: An Overview
TL;DR: In this article, a light front holographic approach to strongly coupled QCD is presented, whereby a confining gauge theory quantized on the light front is mapped to a higher-dimensional anti de Sitter (AdS) space incorporating the AdS/CFT correspondence as a useful guide.

Sources for generalized gauge fields
Claudio Bunster,Marc Henneaux +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the analog of a point source for a generalized gauge field is a special type of brane whose world sheet has another brane interwoven into it: a current within a current.

Bosonic higher spin gravity in any dimension with dynamical two-form
TL;DR: In this article, a modified sp(2) gauge algebra was proposed for higher spin gravity in any dimension beyond the linearized level by factoring out a modified Sp(2)-gauge algebra.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypergravity in five dimensions
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a spin-5/2$ field can be consistently coupled to gravitation without cosmological constant in five-dimensional spacetimes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conformal field theories with infinitely many conservation laws
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the proper generalization of the notion of a 2D chiral algebra to arbitrary (even or odd) dimension is precisely a CFT with an infinite series of conserved currents.

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.
