Infinite enlargements of finite pseudo-unitary symmetries are explicitly provided in this letter. The particular case of u(2,2)=so(4,2)+u(1) constitutes a (Virasoro-like) infinite-dimensional generalization of the 3+1-dimensional conformal…
We discuss recent endeavours in connecting twistor theory to higher-spin theories and the IKKT- matrix model. Starting with a brief review on higher-spin algebra hs in four-dimensional target space, we elucidate how higher-spin symmetry can…
In this paper, we explicitly construct an asymptotic $\mathcal{W}_5$ symmetry algebra of the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter $(AdS_3)$ higher spin gravity. We use an $\mathfrak{sl}(5,R) \oplus \mathfrak{sl}(5,R)$ Lie algebra valued…
We study chiral algebras in the $\bar{Q}$-cohomology of two dimensional SYK models with extended supersymmetry. In a special limit discovered in arXiv:1805.09325, we are able to construct explicitly a "vertical" single-particle higher-spin…
The AdS_5 superalgebra PSU(2,2|4) has an infinite dimensional extension, which we denote by hs(2,2|4). We show that the gauging of hs(2,2|4) gives rise to a spectrum of physical massless fields which coincides with the symmetric tensor…
We make use of O(2r+1) spinning particle models to construct linearized higher-spin curvatures in (A)dS spaces for fields of arbitrary half-integer spin propagating in a space of arbitrary (even) dimension: the field potentials, whose…
Einstein's field equations for a spherically symmetric metric coupled to a massless scalar field are reduced to a system effectively of second order in time, in terms of the variables $\mu=m/r$ and $y=(\alpha/ra)$, where $a$, $\alpha$, $r$…
This Thesis reviews Vasiliev's approach to Higher-Spin Gauge Theory and contains some original results concerning new exact solutions of the Vasiliev equations and the representation theory of the higher-spin algebra. The review part covers…
We apply an unconstrained formulation of bosonic higher spin fields to study interactions of these fields with a bosonic field using new method for the deformation procedure. It is proved that local vertices of any order containing one…
We provide a holographic bulk realization of Carrollian free-field structures arising in three-dimensional asymptotically flat (higher-spin) gravity. We construct a class of boundary conditions that generalizes the diagonal gauge of Anti-de…
A two-dimensional Sp($2N$) vector model with small $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal symmetry is formulated, and its chiral algebra is shown to be generated by superprimary fields of even conformal weight. This vector model is the large level…
We construct $AdS_3\times Y_7$ solutions of type IIB supergravity, where $Y_7$ is a smooth $S^5$ bundle over a spindle $\Sigma(n_N,n_S)$, which are dual to $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ SCFTs in $d=2$. The solutions are constructed using the $D=5$…
We propose a holographic duality between a 2 dimensional (2d) chiral superconformal field theory and a certain theory of supergravity in 3d with flatspace boundary conditions that is obtained as a double scaling limit of a parity breaking…
Gravity coupled three--dimensional $\sigma$--model describing the stationary Einstein--Maxwell--dilaton system with general dilaton coupling is studied. Killing equations for the corresponding five--dimensional target space are integrated.…
We study the most general cosmological model with real scalar field which is minimally coupled to gravity. Our calculations are based on Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) background metric. Field equations consist of three…
We deduce a non-linear commutator higher-spin (HS) symmetry algebra which encodes unitary irreducible representations of the AdS group -- subject to a Young tableaux $Y(s_1,\ldots ,s_k)$ with $k\geq 2$ rows -- in a $d$-dimensional…
The general second-order massive field equations for arbitrary positive integer spin in three spacetime dimensions, and their "self-dual" limit to first-order equations, are shown to be equivalent to gauge-invariant higher-derivative field…
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…
This thesis deals with the phase space realization of asymptotic higher spin symmetries, in 4d asymptotically flat spacetimes. In the gravitational case for instance, these symmetries generalize the BMS algebra to include an infinite tower…
