In a recent paper arXiv:1107.1872 cubic gravitational interactions for a massless mixed symmetry field in AdS space have been constructed. In the current paper we extend these results to the case of massive field. We work in a…
We discuss the two-dimensional dilaton gravity with a scalar field as the source matter. The coupling between the gravity and the scalar, massless, field is presented in an unusual form. We work out two examples of these couplings and…
Nonlinearly realized Abelian global symmetries can be reformulated as local shift symmetries gauged by three-form gauge fields. The anomalous symmetries of the Standard Model (such as Peccei-Quinn or $B+L$) can be dualized to local…
We propose an explicit non-linear realization of massive gravity, which relies on the introduction of a spurious compact extra dimension, on which we impose half-Newmann and half-Dirichlet boundary conditions. At the linearized level, we…
All consistent interactions in a three-dimensional theory with tensor gauge fields of degrees two and three are obtained by means of the deformation of the solution to the master equation combined with cohomological techniques. The local…
Recently Boulanger and Leclercq have constructed cubic four derivative $3-3-2$ vertex for interaction of spin 3 and spin 2 particles. This vertex is trivially invariant under the gauge transformations of spin 2 field, so it seemed that it…
In this paper we present a superspace formulation of $N = 1, D = 6$ supergravity with one tensor-multiplet and an arbitrary number of vector- and hypermultiplets, in which the bosonic abelian superforms of the theory, the dilaton, the…
Starting from the dual Lagrangians recently obtained for (partially) massless spin-2 fields in the Stueckelberg formulation, we write the equations of motion for (partially) massless gravitons in (A)dS in the form of twisted-duality…
We develop off-shell formulations for ${\cal N}=1$ and ${\cal N}=2$ anti-de Sitter supergravity theories in three spacetime dimensions that contain gauge two-forms in the auxiliary field sector. These formulations are shown to allow…
Many experiments have recently been proposed to test whether non-relativistic gravitational interactions can generate entanglement. In this note, I consider the extent to which these experiments can test if the graviton exists. Assuming…
We find exactly solvable dilaton gravity theories containing a U(1) gauge field in two dimensional space-time. The classical general solutions for the gravity sector (the metric plus the dilaton field) of the theories coupled to a massless…
We study a set of static solutions of the Einstein equations in presence of a massless scalar field and establish their connection to the Kantowski-Sachs cosmological solutions based on some kind of duality transformations. The physical…
We construct a new giant graviton solution on the recently constructed pp-wave geometry of the non-supersymmetric Schrodinger background. That solution exhibits an intriguing behavior as the deformation parameter of the spacetime varies.…
We study the problem of interacting theories with (partially)-massless and conformal higher spin fields without matter in three dimensions. A new class of theories that have partially-massless fields is found, which significantly extends…
We investigate in 4 spacetime dimensions, all the consistent deformations of the lagrangian ${\cal L}_2+{\cal L}_{{3/2}}$, which is the sum of the Pauli-Fierz lagrangian ${\cal L}_2$ for a free massless spin 2 field and the Rarita-Schwinger…
One of the possible approaches to the construction of massive higher spin interactions is to use their gauge invariant description based on the introduction of the appropriate set of Stueckelberg fields. Recently, the general properties of…
New local gauge-invariant models of interacting fields with spins 3, 1 and 0 are found. The construction of the models is completely based on the new approach to the deformation problem proposed in our papers (Buchbinder and Lavrov in JHEP…
We present a reformulation of gauge theories in terms of gauge invariant fields. Focusing on Abelian theories, we show that the gauge and matter covariant fields can be recombined to introduce new gauge invariant degrees of freedom.…
Parity-even cubic vertices of massless bosons of arbitrary spins in three dimensional Minkowski space are classified in the metric-like formulation. As opposed to higher dimensions, there is at most one vertex for any given triple…
