Abstract
We provide a review of gauge eld theories with higher spin, focusing on the classical theory of massless bosons in at Minkowski spacetime. A brief introduction to the concept of spin is provided along with a historical review of some of the most important problems and accomplishments in higher spin theory, followed by a review of familiar lower spin theories. Using a particularly elegant formalism, we examine the free higher spin theory and the theory coupled to a generic external... More current. For both of these theories, we review their constrained and the unconstrained formulation, focusing our attention on the latter. We also review the existing literature, conrming the results for the non-local unconstrained formulation and correcting some calculational errors. We brie y discuss the geometrical motivation behind the construction of the basic building blocks of the theory and we entertain the possibility of there being a single equation of motion for all bosonic higher spin elds. Some explicit calculations obtained using computer-assisted methods are provided in the appendix, along with the relevant computer code. Less
