SUMMARY:"Partially Massless Higher-Spin Gauge Theory"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Kurt Hinterbichler\, Case Western Reserve University\
	n\nPart of the HET Seminar Series.\n\nThe higher spin theories of Vasiliev 
	are gauge theories that contain towers of massless particles of all spins\,
	 and are thought to be UV complete quantum theories that include gravity\, 
	describing physics at energies much higher than the Planck scale.  We discu
	ss Vasiliev-like theories that include towers of massless and so-called par
	tially massless fields.  These towers can be thought of as partially Higgs-
	ed versions of Vasiliev theory.   The theory is a fully non-linear theory w
	hich contains partially massless modes\, is expected to be UV complete\, in
	cludes gravity\, and can live on dS as well as AdS.
