Conformal higher-spin gravity: linearized spectrum = symmetry algebra

Abstract The linearized spectrum and the algebra of global symmetries of conformal higher-spin gravity decompose into infinitely many representations of the conformal algebra. Their characters involve divergent sums over spins. We propose a suitable regularization adapted to their evaluation and obs...
