| 520 | _aThe book offers a pedagogical introduction to higher-spin gauge theories. These theories build upon fundamental gauge theories that are crucial for understanding core interactions. Electromagnetism and nuclear forces are associated with gauge fields of spin 1, while gravity can be conceptualized as a gauge theory of spin 2. This prompts the intriguing inquiry: do higher-spin gauge theories exist? Such theories would extend gravity, incorporating massless gauge fields of spins higher than two. They appear to bear connections to string theory and offer a captivating framework for exploring gravity and aspects of quantum gravity. The book initiates with a primer offering a comprehensive discussion on higher spins, delving into the challenges of establishing coherent interactions. It then explores methodologies to surmount these challenges within three-dimensional space-time. Furthermore, it investigates the emergence of asymptotic symmetry algebras, establishing links to a holographic dual conformal theory. The final chapter introduces Vasiliev’s approach to higher-spin gauge theory in four dimensions. Designed for advanced students and young researchers in theoretical physics and mathematical physics, the book aims to elucidate fundamental ideas, concepts, and tools underpinning higher-spin gauge theories. The inclusion of numerous exercises complements and illustrates the content, preparing readers for engagement with the subject's original literature and ongoing developments. To fully engage with the book's arguments, a prerequisite understanding of field theories and conventional gauge theories, including gravity, is assumed. | ||
