Higher-spin gravity and the quest for quantum gravity
Evgeny Skvortsov (UMONS)
I will describe the well-known problems to combine the postulates of quantum field theory with General Relativity, which is a so-called quantum gravity problem.
Next, I will present several ideas to attack this problem where a great attention will be paid to the fact that physical theories of fundamental interactions depend a lot on the spin of the particles involved. Then, I will present one of the ideas - Higher spin gravity and discuss what is known about these theories as theories of quantum gravity and their relations to physics.
I will conclude by reviewing the very recent results on application of higher spin particles to the problem of gravitational waves.
