We consider in detail the structure of quartic vertices for massless higher spin fields on Minkowski background, and study the consistency conditions imposed on cubic and quartic interactions by symmetries of the S--matrix. We discuss the possibility of generalizing the construction of quartic vertices to D-dimensional anti-de Sitter space.

  4. Amplitudes in self-dual (higher-spin) theories

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Lagrangian formulations for mixed-antisymmetric higher-spin fields with k-column Young tableaux are constructed via complete and incomplete BRST operators after converting constraints using Verma modules and Howe duality.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    N-body modeling of the ED-2 progenitor shows Gaia BH3 formed as an exchange binary via multiple dynamical interactions in a dense cluster, not in isolation.
