On amplitudes in Chiral Higher Spin Gravity

Abstract: We extract cubic interactions from the covariant equations of motion of Chiral Higher Spin Gravity and compute the corresponding amplitudes. These amplitudes are found to agree with earlier results obtained in the light-cone gauge. We also classify all possible cubic amplitudes that can be constructed from chiral fields arising in twistor theory. In addition, we derive propagators for arbitrary spin in the Feynman/Lorenz gauges. These propagators are then used to solve Berends--Giele recursion relations for a truncation of Chiral Higher Spin Gravity, which is a higher-spin extension of self-dual Yang--Mills theory. We confirm that all tree-level amplitudes vanish.
