The structure and the dynamics of massless higher spin fields in various dimensions are reviewed with an emphasis on conformally invariant higher spin fields. We show that in D=3,4,6 and 10 dimensional space-time the conformal higher spin fields constitute the quantum spectrum of a twistor-like particle propagating in tensorial spaces of corresponding dimensions. We give a detailed analysis of the field equations of the model and establish their relation with known formulations of free higher spin field theory.

  1. Twistor approach to classical and quantum D0-brane

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A constrained supertwistor approach to the D0-brane is developed, related to the spinor moving frame method, and quantized to yield the spectrum of the massive counterpart of linearized type IIA supergravity.
