Title:
Worldline approach to higher spin fields on (A)dS

Speaker:
Fiorenzo Bastianelli

Abstract:
I describe a first-quantized approach to a class of higher spin fields which makes use of spinning particle actions with local extended supersymmetry on their worldline. I discuss how this description gives rise to the Fronsdal-Labastida field equations in flat space, how one can coupled the higher spinning particles to conformally flat spacetimes, and how to obtain a worldline representation of the one-loop effective action on (A)dS spaces.
