In the background of a Kerr-Newman black hole, the motion of a scalar particle is integrable by virtue of an extra conserved charge known as Carter charge. When the particle is endowed with spin, it is known that another conserved charge,…
I discuss the problem of consistent interactions of higher-spin fields and its relevance to resonance physics.
In this thesis, we present two aspects of higher-spin gauge field theories: dualities and interactions. We first consider dualities of the free theories at the level of the action. Then, external "electric" and "magnetic" sources are…
Rotating black hole solution surrounded by quintessential matter is recently discussed because it might be the promising solution to study the effect of dark energy in small scale of the universe. This quintessential solution is originally…

In this work we construct an infinite class of four-point functions for massless higher-spin fields in flat space that are consistent with the gauge symmetry. In the Lagrangian picture, these reflect themselves in a peculiar non-local…
