Off-Shell Spinor-Helicity Amplitudes from Light-Cone Deformation Procedure
read the original abstract
We study the consistency conditions for interactions of massless fields of any spin in four-dimensional flat space using the light-cone approach. We show that they can be equivalently rewritten as the Ward identities for the off-shell light-cone amplitudes built from the light-cone Hamiltonian in the standard way. Then we find a general solution of these Ward identities. The solution admits a compact representation when written in the spinor-helicity form and is given by an arbitrary function of spinor products, satisfying well-known homogeneity constraints. Thus, we show that the light-cone consistent deformation procedure inevitably leads to a certain off-shell version of the spinor-helicity approach. We discuss how the relation between the two approaches can be employed to facilitate the search of consistent interaction of massless higher-spin fields.

Light-Front approach to $4d$ massless Higher-Spin interactions
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...

Light-Front approach to $4d$ massless Higher-Spin interactions
Quartic Poincaré-closure in the light-front gauge classifies all one- and two-derivative chiral higher-spin theories in 4d and yields new finite-spectrum local theories and quasi-chiral families.

A light-front quartic-constraint analysis classifies local massless higher-spin vertices and amplitudes, yielding no-go results for unitary theories and new quasi-chiral higher-spin sectors.
