Higher Spin Symmetry in Gravity and Yang-Mills

This lecture by Laurent Freidel explores the intricate relationship between higher spin symmetry in gravity and Yang-Mills theory. Throughout the 72-minute presentation at the Galileo Galilei Institute (GGI), delve into advanced theoretical physics concepts examining how higher spin symmetries manifest in fundamental force theories. Gain insights into the mathematical frameworks that connect gravitational interactions with gauge field theories, and understand the implications these symmetries have for our understanding of fundamental physics.
