Here we show that in arbitrary dimensions $D\ge 3$ there are two families of second order Lagrangians describing massive "spin-2" particles via a nonsymmetric rank-2 tensor. They differ from the usual Fierz-Pauli theory in general. At zero…
We propose the use of pure spin-3/2 propagator in the $(3/2,0) \oplus (0,3/2)$ representation in particle and nuclear physics. To formulate the propagator in a covariant form we use the antisymmetric tensor spinor representation and we…
We study the constraints imposed by the existence of a single higher spin conserved current on a three dimensional conformal field theory. A single higher spin conserved current implies the existence of an infinite number of higher spin…
Requiring covariance of Maxwell's equations without {\it a priori} imposing charge invariance allows for both spin-1 and spin-1/2 transformations of the complete Maxwell field and current. The spin-1/2 case yields new transformation rules,…

Scalar field theories in $\text{(A)dS}_{2}$ with integer scaling dimensions $\Delta = k+1$ are characterised by the existence of a pair of (anti-)holomorphic higher-spin currents. We explore the consequences of this to describe their…
Studying the physics of compact objects in modified theories of gravity is important for understanding how future observations can test alternatives to General Relativity. We consider a subset of vector-tensor Galileon theories of gravity…
An attempt to evade the strict uniqueness of consistent interactions involving spin-2 particles is made by modifying the Noether procedure from the outset. A vector field is introduced, coupled to a graviton already at the level of…

We propose that maximal depth, partially massless, higher spin excitations can mediate charged matter interactions in a de Sitter universe. The proposal is motivated by similarities between these theories and their traditional Maxwell…
