Higher Spin Gravity refers to extensions of gravity including at least one field of spin greater than two. These extensions are expected to provide manageable models of quantum gravity thanks to the infinite-dimensional (higher spin) gauge symmetry constraining them. One of the key aspects of Higher Spin Gravity/Symmetry is the range and diversity of topics it embraces: (a) higher spin fields play a role in quantum gravity, AdS/CFT, string theory and are expected to have important consequences in cosmology and black hole physics; (b) higher spin symmetry finds applications in Conformal Field Theories, condensed matter systems and dualities therein; (c) these models often rely on tools developed in the study of the mathematical foundations of QFT or in pure mathematics: from deformation quantization and non-commutative geometry to conformal geometry, graded geometry (including BV-BRST quantization), and geometry of PDEs. Recent exciting applications also involve (d) modelling the coalescence of black hole binaries as scattering of massive higher spin particles.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.5 of 10

    Solving Poincaré-algebra closure at quartic order yields infinitely many local 4d massless higher-spin theories (finite or infinite spectra), classifies chiral one-/two-derivative models, and determines all local unit...

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The structure of N=2 abelian cubic higher-spin vertices is fully determined by three analytic supercurrents, and odd-spin (s,1,1) gauge transformations reduce to supersymmetric zilch symmetries.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.5 of 10

    Lagrangian formulations for mixed-antisymmetric higher-spin fields with k-column Young tableaux are constructed via complete and incomplete BRST operators after converting constraints using Verma modules and Howe duality.

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the self-dual higher-spin theory, a scalar vacuum that breaks AdS symmetry to 3D Poincaré makes all higher-spin gauge fields decouple except spin one, and makes higher-spin currents non-conserved except the spin-on...

    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 ...
