The nature of gravitational singularities has been questioned by some recent research, challenging the notion that classical determinism breaks down at these points. By allowing for dynamic changes in the orientation of spatial…
We show that the recently proposed equations for holomorphic sector of higher-spin theory in $d=4$, also known as chiral, can be naturally extended to describe interacting symmetric higher-spin gauge fields in any dimension. This is…
We develop a manifestly conformal approach to describe linearised (super)conformal higher-spin gauge theories in arbitrary conformally flat backgrounds in three and four spacetime dimensions. Closed-form expressions in terms of gauge…
We analyse the couplings of a partially massless spin-2 field with a doublet of massless, real spin-3/2 fields. In the flat limit, this spectrum coincides with the spectrum of ${\cal N}=2$ pure supergravity around anti-de Sitter spacetime…
This thesis is an elaboration of recent results on the holographic re-construction of metric-like interactions in higher-spin gauge theories on anti-de Sitter space (AdS), employing their conjectured holographic duality with free conformal…
Returning to an old idea of a certain two-particle relativistic harmonic oscillator as an underlying mechanical model for higher spin gauge fields, various space-time pictures are discussed for the propagation and the interactions.
We review a recent construction of the free field equations for totally symmetric tensors and tensor-spinors that exhibits the corresponding linearized geometry. These equations are not local for all spins >2, involve unconstrained fields…
The unconstrained frame-like formulation of an infinite tower of completely symmetric tensor gauge fields is reviewed and examined in the limit where the cosmological constant goes to zero. By partially fixing the gauge and solving the…

A systematic method is presented for the construction and classification of algebras of gauge transformations for arbitrary high rank tensor gauge fields. For every tensor gauge field of a given rank, the gauge transformation will be…
In this paper, we explore the algebraic and geometric structures that arise from a procedure we dub "gauging the gauge", which involves the promotion of a certain global, coordinate independent symmetry to a local one. By gauging the global…
It is outlined how deformations of field theoretical rigid symmetries can be constructed and classified by cohomological means in the extended antifield formalism. Special attention is devoted to deformations referring only to a subset of…
