We briefly review some modern developments in higher spin field theory and their links with superstring theory. The analysis is based on various BRST constructions allowing to derive the Lagrangians for massive and massless higher spin fields on flat or constant curvature backgrounds of arbitrary dimensions.

    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.
