Description
Summary:Continuing the study of the Moyal Higher Spin Yang–Mills theory started in our previous paper we provide a detailed discussion of matter coupling and the corresponding tree-level amplitudes. We also start the investigation of the spectrum by expanding the master fields in terms of ordinary spacetime fields. We note that the spectrum can be consistent with unitarity while still preserving Lorentz covariance, albeit not in the usual way, but by employing an infinite-dimensional unitary representation of the Lorentz group.
