Aiming at non-experts, we explain the key mechanisms of higher-spin extensions of ordinary gravity. We first overview various no-go theorems for low-energy scattering of massless particles in flat spacetime. In doing so we dress a…
This review is devoted to collecting some results on the high spin expansion of (minimal) anomalous dimension. Thanks to the recent rationale on integrability, planar ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory (or its…
Supersymmetry plays prominent roles in the study of quantum field theory and in many proposals for potential new physics beyond the standard model. Lattice field theory provides a non-perturbative regularization suitable for strongly…
If the graviton is the only high spin particle present during inflation, then the form of the observable tensor three-point function is fixed by de Sitter symmetry at leading order in slow-roll, regardless of the theory, to be a linear…
We derive a class of cubic interaction vertices for three higher spin fields, with integer spins $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$, $\lambda_3$, by closing commutators of the Poincar\'e algebra in four-dimensional flat spacetime. We find that these…
We study systematically the conformal geometry of higher spin bosonic gauge fields in three spacetime dimensions. We recall the definition of the Cotton tensor for higher spins and establish a number of its properties that turn out to be…
In this note we provide some details on the quasi-local field redefinitions which map interactions extracted from Vasiliev's equations to those obtained via holographic reconstruction. Without loss of generality, we focus on the source to…
Higher spin (HS) fields naturally occur in string theory, they are considered as a candidate for dark matter and may also appear as a collective excitation in condensed matter systems. In some cases one may study the HS fields in the…
We investigate the role of four-spin interactions in stabilizing exotic multiple-$Q$ topological spin textures and demonstrate their ability to realize a skyrmion crystal. While such higher-order interactions are known to be important,…

Using light-cone gauge formulation, massive arbitrary spin irreducible fields and massless (scalar and one-half spin) fields in three-dimensional flat space are considered. Both the integer spin and half-integer spin fields are studied. For…
We give a framework to describe gauge theory on a certain class of commutative but non-associative fuzzy spaces. Our description is in terms of an Abelian gauge connection valued in the algebra of functions on the cotangent bundle of the…
We present a complementary approach to the standard Vasiliev framework for nonlinear higher-spin interactions in four dimensions, aimed at identifying their minimally nonlocal form. Our proposal introduces a generating system for…
Wigner's famous 1939 classification of positive energy representations, combined with the more recent modular localization principle, has led to a significant conceptual and computational extension of renormalized perturbation theory to…
Nonlinear field theories can be used to study both standard physics questions, or to study questions such as the emergence of order and complexity. These theories are generally derived from the symmetries of a given problem and the…
We performed a search for neutron spin coupling to a Lorentz and CPT-violating background field using a magnetometer with overlapping ensembles of K and $^3$He atoms. The co-magnetometer is mounted on a rotary platform for frequent reversal…
We introduce a class of spin models with long-range interactions---in the sense that they extend significantly beyond nearest neighbors---whose ground states can be constructed analytically and have a simple matrix product state…
