In this paper we construct a number of cubic interaction vertices for massless bosonic and fermionic higher spin fields in flat four dimensional space. First of all, we construct these cubic vertices in AdS_4 space using a so-called Fradkin-Vasiliev approach, which works only for the non-zero cosmological constant. Then we consider a flat limit taking care on all the higher derivative terms which FV-approach generates. We restrict ourselves with the four dimensions because this allows us to use the frame-like multispinor formalism which greatly simplifies all calculations and provides a description for bosons and fermions on equal footing.

    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.

    Massive arbitrary-spin fields admit a unique gauge-invariant gravitational vertex built from minimal plus RPhiPhi non-minimal terms, with minimal interactions surviving only for massless AdS fields and depth-2 partial...

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For equal-spin currents up to spin four, conserved three-point correlators can be constructed explicitly as linear combinations of products of spin-one and spin-two Osborn-Petkou building blocks.
