Properties of nonlinear higher spin gauge theories of totally symmetric massless higher spin fields in anti-de Sitter space of any dimension are discussed with the emphasize on the general aspects of the approach.
Cubic interactions of massive and partially-massless totally-symmetric higher-spin fields in any constant-curvature background of dimension greater than three are investigated. Making use of the ambient-space formalism, the consistency…

Massless higher-spin fields show no preference for any value of the cosmological constant in $3d$. All matter-free higher-spin gravities in 3d are equivalent to Chern-Simons theories with an appropriate choice of gauge algebra. For various…
