The space of differential operators acting on skewsymmetric tensor fields or on smooth forms of a smooth manifold are representations of its Lie algebra of vector fields. We compute the first cohomology spaces of these representations and…
Via the relative fundamental exact sequence of $p$-adic Hodge theory, we determine the geometric $p$-adic pro-\'etale cohomology of the Drinfeld symmetric spaces defined over a $p$-adic field, thus giving an alternative proof of a theorem…
We present and discuss near horizon boundary conditions for flat space higher-spin gravity in three dimensions. As in related work our boundary conditions ensure regularity of the solutions independently of the charges. The asymptotic…
We reconsider here the problem of finding the general 4D spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat and time-independent solutions to the lowest-order string equations in the $\ap$ expansion. Our construction includes earlier work, but…
Vasiliev's higher-spin theories in various dimensions are uniformly represented as a simple system of equations. These equations and their gauge invariances are based on two superalgebras and have a transparent algebraic meaning. For a…
It was shown that the Lie algebra underlying higher-spin holography admits a contraction including a Poincar\'e subalgebra in any space-time dimensions. The associated curvatures, however, do not reproduce upon linearisation those that are…
A new twistorial field formulation of a massless infinite spin particle is derived. We find a twistorial infinite spin field and derive its helicity decomposition. The twistorial equations of motion for infinite spin fields in the cases of…
We compute the complete 1-loop spectrum of anomalous dimensions for the bulk fields of non-linear sigma models on symmetric coset (super)spaces G/H, both with and without world-sheet supersymmetry. In addition, we provide two new methods…
The asymptotic structure of three-dimensional higher-spin anti-de Sitter gravity is analyzed in the metric approach, in which the fields are described by completely symmetric tensors and the dynamics is determined by the standard…
We construct solutions in the form of $AdS_2\times\Sigma$, where $\Sigma$ denotes a spindle geometry, within a particular 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauged supergravity with vector multiplets and a charged hypermultiplet stemming from a consistent…
Given a finite dimensional C-*-Hopf algebra H and its dual H^ we construct the infinite crossed product A=... x H x H^ x H x ... and study its representations. A is the observable algebra of a generalized spin model with H-order and…
In this work we discuss an analytic bootstrap approach [1,2] in the context of spinning 4D conformal blocks [3,4]. As an example we study the simplest spinning case, the scalar-fermion correlator $\langle\phi\psi\phi\bar\psi\rangle$. We…
We present a complete solution to the problem of Formal Higher Spin Gravities --- formally consistent field equations that gauge a given higher spin algebra and describe free higher spin fields upon linearization. The problem is shown to be…
We develop the embedding formalism for conformal field theories, aimed at doing computations with symmetric traceless operators of arbitrary spin. We use an index-free notation where tensors are encoded by polynomials in auxiliary…
The static kink, sphaleron and kink chain solutions for a single scalar field $\phi$ in one spatial dimension are reconsidered. By integration of the Euler--Lagrange equation, or through the Bogomolny argument, one finds that each of these…
Global properties of static, spherically symmetric configurations of scalar fields of sigma-model type with arbitrary potentials are studied in $D$ dimensions, including space-times containing multiple internal factor spaces. The latter are…
General aspects of higher-spin gauge theory and unfolded formulation are briefly recalled with some emphasize on the recent results on the breaking of $sp(8)$ symmetry by current interactions and construction of invariant functionals…
Here we suggest a new local action describing arbitrary integer spin-$s$ massless particles in terms of only two symmetric fields $\varphi $ and $\alpha$ of rank-$s$ and $(s-3)$ respectively. It is an unconstrained version of the Fronsdal…
We study the cohomology of the free loop space of $SU(n+1)/T^n$, the simplest example of a complete flag manifolds and an important homogeneous space. Through this enhanced analysis we reveal rich new combinatorial structures arising in the…
We study $p$-adic properties of the coherent cohomology of some automorphic sheaves on the Hilbert modular variety $X$ for a totally real field $F$ in the case where the prime $p$ is totally split in $F$. More precisely, we develop higher…
