Self-dual theories are powerful toy models of their completions. It was shown recently that there are infinitely many SD-theories once massless higher-spin fields are allowed. The maximal SD-theory is chiral higher-spin gravity. Following…
We provide observations that Finsler geometry could be useful tools to construct higher-spin theories. We suggest that a Finsler metric of constant flag curvature can be regarded as a metric encoding higher-spin fields. We also show that…
We propose an action to describe high spin topologically massive gravity with a negative cosmological constant. With the frame-like fields and spin connections being combined into two gauge fields, the action includes two gauge field…
The double copy relates quantities in gauge, gravity and related theories. A well-known procedure for relating exact classical solutions is the Weyl double copy in four spacetime dimensions, and a three-dimensional analogue of this -- the…
The Weyl double copy is a relationship between classical solutions in gauge and gravity theories, and has previously been applied to vacuum solutions in both General Relativity and its generalisations. There have also been suggestions that…
These notes are based on my lectures given at $\text{ST}^4$ 2025 held at IISER Bhopal. We study the application of spinor and twistor methods to three dimensional conformal field theories in these notes. They are divided into three parts…
In this work, we investigate the assumptions regarding spacetime backgrounds underlying the classical double copy. We argue (contrary to the norm) that single-copy fields naturally constructed on the original curved background metric are…
In this paper, we use a version of the BF formulation of two-dimensional dilaton gravity that allows to define a gauge theory of the two-dimensional Poincar\'e or Maxwell algebras and several of their higher-spin generalisations, both of…
We prove the flat space analogue of the Flato-Fronsdal theorem. It features the flat space singleton representation suggested recently. We do that by deriving a kernel that intertwines a pair of singleton representations with massless…
We establish the status of the Weyl double copy relation for radiative solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations. We show that all type N vacuum solutions, which describe the radiation region of isolated gravitational systems with…
We explore the multimetric theory of gravitation, also known as multigravity. We derive additional new exact solutions for the theory in proportional Kerr-Schild and double Kerr-Schild forms. We extend several solutions from the theory of…
The multipole expansions for massive vector and symmetric tensor fields in the region outside spatially compact stationary sources are obtained by using the symmetric and trace-free formalism in terms of the irreducible Cartesian tensors,…
A geometric theory of the irreducible tensor operators of quantum spin systems. It is based upon the Maxwell-Sylvester geometric representation of the multipolar electrostatic potential. In the latter, an order-$\ell$ multipolar potential…
In three spacetime dimensions, (super)conformal geometry is controlled by the (super) Cotton tensor. We present a new duality transformation for N-extended supersymmetric theories formulated in terms of the linearised super-Cotton tensor or…
We lift the recently proposed theories of higher-spin self-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) and gravity (SDGR) to the twistor space. We find that the most natural room for the twistor formulation of these theories is not in the projective, but in the…
We study the classical double copy of massive spinning objects in the worldline quantum field theories (WQFT) formalism. We couple the $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric model to a Yang-Mills background to describe the propagation of a…
We consider the classical double copy, that relates solutions of biadjoint scalar, gauge and gravity theories. Using a recently developed twistor expression of this idea, we use well-established techniques to show that the multipole moments…
We present the superfield generalization of free higher spin equations in tensorial superspaces and analyze tensorial supergravities with GL(n) and SL(n) holonomy as a possible framework for the construction of a non-linear higher spin…
We propose the relativistic point particle models invariant under the bosonic counterpart of SUSY. The particles move along the world lines in four dimensional Minkowski space extended by $N$ commuting Weyl spinors. The models provide after…
We investigate the gravitational multipole structure derived from scattering amplitudes in both four- and higher-dimensional spacetimes, with particular focus on the five-dimensional case. We develop a systematic procedure to extract…
