Conclusions ETH, November 2015

1 / 28 Supersymmetry is well known to have deep consequences. In the context of higher spin gauge theories, supersymmetry is generalized to include fermionic symmetries described by parameters of spin 3/2, 5/2 etc Do these symmetries also have interesting implications ? In particular, do they imply “hypersymmetry" bounds ? The answer turns out to be affirmative, as can be seen for instance by analysing anti-de Sitter hypergravity in 2 1 + dimensions. Based on joint work with A. Pérez, D. Tempo, R. Troncoso (2015)

Black holes sl(2,R) G , where G is the “R-symmetry algebra". ⊕ Conclusions The fermionic generators transform in the 2 of sl(2,R), which might come with a non-trivial multiplicity (extended supergravities). The first condition ensures that the theory contains gravity and only bosonic fields of “spins" 2 and 1 (and a single “graviton"). 3 The second condition ensures that spinors are spin- 2 fields.

In 3D, the higher spin gauge theories are simply given by a Chern-Simons theory with appropriate “higher spin" (super)algebra. These higher spin (super)algebras are obtained by lifting the above restrictions that limited the spin content to 2. ≤ One then considers general (super)algebras containing the gravitational subalgebra sl(2,R), but with their bosonic subalgebra not necessarily of the form sl(2,R) G . ⊕

This approach is crucial when higher spins are included, where there is no well-defined geometry.
