We consider a free massless scalar field coupled to an infinite tower of background higher-spin gauge fields via minimal coupling to the traceless conserved currents. The set of Abelian gauge transformations is deformed to the non-Abelian…
We give a systematic account of unconstrained free bosonic higher-spin fields on D-dimensional Minkowski and (Anti-)de Sitter spaces in the frame formalism. The generalized spin connections are determined by solving a chain of torsion-like…

Higher-spin symmetry is known to mix lower-spin fields with higher-spin fields, creating a complex interaction picture where no closed finite field sector is expected to exist for dimensions greater than three. By studying the self-dual…
