Abstract
Properties of nonlinear higher spin gauge theories of totally symmetric massless higher spin fields in antiβde Sitter space of any dimension are discussed with the emphasize on the general aspects of the approach.

The extended Yang Mills gauge theory in Euclidean space is a renormalizable (by power counting) gauge theory describing a local interacting theory of scalar, vector, and tensor gauge fields (with maximum spin 2). In this article we study the quantum aspects and various generalizations of this model
## Abstract We show how superconformal gaugings in three dimensions can be systematically constructed using the embedding tensor technique. These gaugings have been argued to describe the worldvolume theory of multiple M2βbranes. Applying our technique we construct the most general superconformal g
## Abstract The problem of determining all consistent nonβAbelian local interactions is reviewed in flat spaceβtime. The antifieldβBRST formulation of the free theory is an efficient tool to address this problem. Firstly, it allows to compute all onβshell local Killing tensor fields, which are impo
