Solving the Noether procedure for cubic interactions of higher spins in (A)dS

Abstract

The Noether procedure represents a perturbative scheme to construct all possible consistent interactions starting from a given free theory. In this paper we describe how cubic interactions involving higher spins in any constant-curvature background can be systematically derived within this framework.This article is part of a special issue of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical devoted to ‘Higher spin theories and holography’.
