We briefly review some modern developments in higher spin field theory and their links with superstring theory. The analysis is based on various BRST constructions allowing to derive the Lagrangians for massive and massless higher spin fields on flat or constant curvature backgrounds of arbitrary dimensions.

  1. Gauge-invariant off-shell formulations for 3D massive higher-spin supermultiplets

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Gauge-invariant off-shell actions for 3D massive higher-spin N=2 supermultiplets with central charge are constructed via Kaluza-Klein reduction from 4D massless N=1 supermultiplets, including new massive versions of o...
