摘要

We study Higher-Spin Gravity in 4-dimensional (Anti-)de Sitter space, at leading order in the interactions (cubic vertices), in the AdS lightcone formalism developed by Metsaev. Using the vertices’ chiral structure, we extend the formalism into a broader class of lightcone frames, which allows for lightcones of bulk points. This enables us to write the lightcone theory in de Sitter space, where only these more general frames are available. It also allows us to formulate and verify (for the first time!) some causal properties of massless higher-spin interactions, involving lightcone foliations that share a lightray. These causal properties serve to both motivate and enable the computation of “static-patch scattering amplitudes” — the evolution of fields between the two horizons of the maximal observable region in de Sitter space. We present a computation scheme for such “amplitudes” in coordinate space, and in momentum space with spinor-helicity variables.
