Using BRST-BV approach, massless and massive continuous-spin fields propagating in the flat space are studied. For such fields, BRST-BV gauge invariant Lagrangian is obtained. The Lagrangian and gauge transformations are constructed out of traceless gauge fields and traceless gauge transformation parameters. Interrelation between the BRST-BV Lagrangian and the Lagrangian for the continuous-spin fields in metric-like approach is demonstrated. Considering the BRST-BV Lagrangian in the Siegel gauge, we get gauge-fixed Lagrangian which is invariant under global BRST and antiBRST transformations.

  1. Light-cone vector superspace and continuous-spin field in AdS

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Light-cone vector superspace yields simple spin operators for continuous-spin fields in AdS, enables classification of bosonic and fermionic cases in 4D, and produces all unitary irreps of the non-linear spin algebra.
