These notes are devoted to the intriguing and still largely unexplored links between String Theory and Higher Spins, the types of excitations that lie behind its most cherished properties. A closer look at higher-spin fields provides some further clues that String Theory describes a broken phase of a Higher-Spin Gauge Theory. Conversely, string amplitudes contain a wealth of information on higher-spin interactions that can clarify long-standing issues related to their infrared behavior.

  1. The asymptotic charges of Curtright dual graviton and Curtright extensions of BMS algebra

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The asymptotic charges of the Curtright dual graviton in D=5 split into scalar, vector, and TT sectors that close into an abelian extension of a BMS-like algebra when the vector parameter is restricted to o(4).

  2. Topological Fields in $4d$ Higher Spin Theory

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Topological fields in 4d higher spin theory have a finite number of degrees of freedom and admit a gauge-invariant cubic action for interactions with physical higher spin fields.
