The 16 lowest higher spin currents of spins (1, 3/2, 3/2, 2), (3/2, 2, 2, 5/2 ), (3/2, 2, 2, 5/2) and (2, 5/2, 5/2, 3) in terms of N=2 WZW affine currents were obtained in the N=4 superconformal Wolf space coset SU(5)/[SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1)]…
We construct the effective field theory for a single massive higher-spin particle in flat spacetime. Positivity bounds of the S-matrix force the cutoff of the theory to be well below the naive strong-coupling scale, forbid any potential and…

We study the structure of scalar, vector, and tensor currents for on-shell massive particles of any spin. When considering higher values for the spin of the particle, the number of form factors (FFs) involved in the decomposition of the…
We formulate a new model which describes higher-spin gauge interactions for matter fields in two dimensions. This model is a higher-spin generalization of d2 gravity and turns out to be integrable. No vanishing higher-spin current…
We study the spectrum of physical states for higher-spin generalisations of string theory, based on two-dimensional theories with local spin-2 and spin-$s$ symmetries. We explore the relation of the resulting effective Virasoro string…

Massive higher-spin states/fields appear in the effective description of various systems from hadrons and nuclei to black holes, whenever the point-particle approximation is justified, as well as in the bottom-up approaches to the quantum…
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…
General aspects of higher-spin gauge theory and unfolded formulation are briefly recalled with some emphasize on the recent results on the breaking of $sp(8)$ symmetry by current interactions and construction of invariant functionals…
