The problem of determining all consistent non-Abelian local interactions is reviewed in flat space-time. The antifield-BRST formulation of the free theory is an efficient tool to address this problem. Firstly, it allows to compute all on-shell local Killing tensor fields, which are important because of their deep relationship with higher-spin algebras. Secondly, under the sole assumptions of locality and Poincare invariance, all non-trivial consistent deformations of a sum of spin-three quadratic actions deforming the Abelian gauge algebra were determined. They are compared with lower-spin cases.

  1. Symmetric formulation for higher spin correlators, quantum effective action and anomaly

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The trace anomaly of the higher-spin conformal effective action is shown to be the single source of both trace and gauge anomalies, with a 2s-derivative structure in d=4.

  2. A proposal for the role of higher spin fields in Conformal Cyclic Cosmology

    gr-qc 2025-07 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A qualitative proposal that non-unitary higher spin physics inside black holes removes degrees of freedom from phase space, resetting entropy between aeons of Conformal Cyclic Cosmology.

  3. Constructive approach to solution of the conservation condition for conformal higher spin tree-point correlation function with equal spins

    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.
