On z-dominance, shift symmetry and spin locality in higher-spin theory
Abstract The paper aims at the qualitative criterion of higher-spin locality. Perturbative analysis of the Vasiliev equations gives rise to the so-called z-dominated non-localities which nevertheless disappear from interaction vertices leaving the final result spin-local in all known cases. This has...

| description | Abstract The paper aims at the qualitative criterion of higher-spin locality. Perturbative analysis of the Vasiliev equations gives rise to the so-called z-dominated non-localities which nevertheless disappear from interaction vertices leaving the final result spin-local in all known cases. This has led one to the z-dominance conjecture that suggests universality of the observed cancellations. Here we specify conditions which include observation of the higher-spin shift symmetry and prove validity of this recently proposed conjecture. We also define a class of spin-local and shift-symmetric field redefinitions which is argued to be the admissible one with respect to spin-locality. |
