We examine the AdS Higgs phenomenon for spin-1 fields, and demonstrate that graviphotons pick up a dynamically generated mass in AdS_4, once matter boundary conditions are relaxed. We perform an explicit one-loop calculation of the…
We revisit the problem of consistent free propagation of higher-spin fields in nontrivial backgrounds, focusing on symmetric tensor(-spinor)s. The Fierz-Pauli equations for massive fields in flat space form an involutive system, whose…

We generalize the unconstrained description of free massless higher spin fields previously developed in [Nucl.Phys. B 779 (2007) 155] to the case of free massive higher spin fields in a flat space of arbitrary dimension. The Lagrangian is…
We analyse the couplings of a partially massless spin-2 field with a doublet of massless, real spin-3/2 fields. In the flat limit, this spectrum coincides with the spectrum of ${\cal N}=2$ pure supergravity around anti-de Sitter spacetime…
By compactifying the Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson model on $\mathbb{R}^{1,1} \times S^1$, we obtain a new two dimensional massless field theory with dynamical fields valued in the Lie 3-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ coupled with an SO(1,1) scalar and…
A main purpose of this paper is to explain how the theory of higher spin fields in flat D=4 space and in AdS(4) emerges as a result of the quantization of a superparticle propagating in so called tensorial superspaces which have the…
Using BRST-BV formulation of relativistic dynamics, arbitrary spin massless and massive field propagating in flat space and arbitrary spin massless fields propagating in AdS space are considered. For such fields, BRST-BV Lagrangians…
