Induced action for superconformal higher-spin multiplets using SCFT techniques. (English) Zbl 1521.81145

Summary: Recently, the interacting \(\mathcal{N} = 1\) superconformal higher-spin theory in four dimensions has been proposed within the induced action approach. In this paper we initiate a program of computing perturbative corrections to the corresponding action and explicitly evaluate all quadratic terms. This is achieved by employing standard techniques from superconformal field theory.
