General method for including Stueckelberg fields
A systematic procedure is proposed for inclusion of Stueckelberg fields. The procedure begins with the involutive closure when the original Lagrangian equations are complemented by all the lower…
A calculation of the Weyl anomaly for 6D conformal higher spins
In this work we continue the study of the one-loop partition function for higher derivative conformal higher spin (CHS) fields in six dimensions and its holographic counterpart given by massless…
Bootstrap bounds on closed Einstein manifolds
TLDR
It is shown that it is possible to obtain nontrivial bounds on the geometric data of closed Einstein manifolds by using semidefinite programming to study these consistency conditions, in analogy to the conformal bootstrap bounds on conformal field theories.

Note on gauge invariance and causal propagation
Interactions of gauge-invariant systems are severely constrained by several consistency requirements.One is the preservation of the number of gauge symmetries, another is causal propagation. For…
