abstract

We construct a new covariant action for "flat" self-dual gravity in four spacetime dimensions. The action has just one term, but when expanded around an appropriate background gives rise to a kinetic term and a cubic interaction. Upon imposing the light-cone gauge, the action reproduces the expected chiral interaction of Siegel. The new action is in many ways analogous to the known covariant action for self-dual Yang-Mills theory. There is also a sense in which the new self-dual gravity action exhibits the double copy of self-dual Yang-Mills structure.

Higher-spins on Taub-NUT and higher-spin Taub-NUT

hep-th · 2025-08-26 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Higher-spin fields are solved exactly on the Taub-NUT instanton in the self-dual Yang-Mills truncation, and an order-by-order convergent higher-spin Taub-NUT solution is constructed in self-dual gravity, organized by a commutative non-associative algebra.
