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…
In this paper, we first propose the bosonic (fermionic) modified Wigner equations for continuous spin particle (CSP). Secondly, starting from the (Fang-)Fronsdal-like equation, we will reach to the modified action of bosonic (fermionic)…
We analyse higher-spin theory with general coupling constant $\eta$ at the second order, focusing on the gauge non-invariant vertices $\Upsilon(\omega,\omega)$, $\Upsilon(\Omega,\omega,C)$ and $\Upsilon(\omega,C)$, that are shown to…
We first propose an alternative to Vasiliev's bosonic higher spin gravities in any dimension by factoring out a modified sp(2) gauge algebra. We evidence perturbative equivalence of the two models, which have the same spectrum of Fronsdal…
In the free $\Box^k$ scalar conformal field theory, there exist conserved and partially-conserved higher-spin currents. We study their anomalous dimensions associated with $\phi^{2n}$ interaction in the $\epsilon$ expansion. We derive…
We present a systematic calculation of the corrections of the stress-energy tensor and currents of the free boson and Dirac fields up to second order in thermal vorticity, which is relevant for relativistic hydrodynamics. These corrections…
An interesting tool for investigating the quantum features of a field theory is the introduction of compensating fields. For instance, the anomalous divergence of the chiral current can be calculated in the field-antifield formalism from an…
Higher spin tensor gauge fields have natural gauge-invariant field equations written in terms of generalised curvatures, but these are typically of higher than second order in derivatives. We construct geometric second order field equations…
This paper presents a novel and systematic formalism for deriving classical field equations within the framework ofcausal fermion systems, explicitly accounting for higher-order corrections such as quantum effects and those arising from…
We compute the anomalous divergence of currents associated with global transformations in the antifield formalism, by introducing compensating fields that gauge these transformations. We consider the explicit case of the global axial…
We construct a double field theory coupled to the fields present in Vasiliev's equations. Employing the "semi-covariant" differential geometry, we spell a functional in which each term is completely covariant with respect to…
We compute the virtual O(\alpha_s^3 n_f^2) corrections to the heavy quark vector current correlator in terms of expansions in the external momentum and as an exact numerical solution. As a byproduct, the available high-energy expansion at…
We argue that the process of constructing the quantum mechanical current of the Pauli equation by copying the line of arguments used in the spin-0 case, i.e. the Schr\"{o}dinger equation, is ambiguous. We show that a non-relativistic…
Action principles for the single and double valued continuous-spin representations of the Poincare group have been recently proposed in a Segal-like formulation. We address three related issues: First, we explain how to obtain these actions…
A procedure for reducing the functional integral of QED to an integral over bosonic gauge invariant fields is presented. Next, a certain averaging method for this integral, giving a tractable effective quantum field theory, is proposed.…
The possibility of having a gauge fixing term in the effective Lagrangian that is not a quadratic expression has been explored in spin-two theories so as to have a propagator that is both traceless and transverse. We first show how this…
The recently proposed differential homotopy approach to the analysis of nonlinear higher spin theory is developed. The Ansatz is extended to the form applicable in the second order of the perturbation theory and general star-multiplication…
A spinor current-source is found in the Weyl non-Abelian gauge theory which does not contain the abstract gauge space. It is shown that the searched spinor representation can be constructed in the space of external differential forms and it…
