Higher-spin gauge theories in three spacetime dimensions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-09-24 v2

Abstract

These lecture notes provide an introduction to higher-spin gauge theories in three spacetime dimensions, with a focus on their asymptotic symmetries, their holographic description in terms of conformal field theories with W-symmetries as well as on their couplings to scalar matter.
