We consider in detail the structure of quartic vertices for massless higher spin fields on Minkowski background, and study the consistency conditions imposed on cubic and quartic interactions by symmetries of the S--matrix. We discuss the possibility of generalizing the construction of quartic vertices to D-dimensional anti-de Sitter space.

  1. Amplitudes in self-dual (higher-spin) theories

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    All self-dual theories with or without higher-spin fields possess nontrivial tree-level amplitudes in Kleinian or complex Minkowski kinematics, completing the celestial analogue of the higher-spin duality.

  2. BRST methods for constructing quartic actions for spinning black holes

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A BRST formulation yields a single constraint per off-shell quartic vertex ensuring gauge invariance and associativity, with example solutions for low-spin cases in black hole scattering.
