This is a collection of my lecture notes on the higher-spin theory course given for students at the Institute for Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University. The goal of these lectures is to give an introduction to higher-spin theories accessible to master level students which would enable them to read the higher-spin literature. I start by introducing basic relevant notions of representation theory and the associated field-theoretic descriptions. Focusing on massless symmetric fields I review different approaches to interactions as well as the no-go results. I end the lectures by reviewing some of the currently available positive results on interactions of massless higher-spin fields, namely, holographic, Chern-Simons and chiral higher-spin theories.

Light-Front approach to $4d$ massless Higher-Spin interactions
Solving Poincaré-algebra closure at quartic order yields infinitely many local 4d massless higher-spin theories (finite or infinite spectra), classifies chiral one-/two-derivative models, and determines all local unit...

Structure of $\mathcal{N} = 2$ superfield higher-spin abelian cubic interactions
The structure of N=2 abelian cubic higher-spin vertices is fully determined by three analytic supercurrents, and odd-spin (s,1,1) gauge transformations reduce to supersymmetric zilch symmetries.

Massless spinning fields on the Light-Front: quartic vertices and amplitudes
A light-front quartic-constraint analysis classifies local massless higher-spin vertices and amplitudes, yielding no-go results for unitary theories and new quasi-chiral higher-spin sectors.

Three-dimensional non-relativistic chiral massive higher-spin gravity
A non-relativistic massive higher-spin gravity in deformed AdS₃ is constructed by Lifshitz-deforming and null-reducing chiral massless higher-spin gravity; under an assumed mass-spin relation its cubic couplings vanis...
