Symmetries play a fundamental role in physics. Non-Abelian gauge
symmetries are the symmetries behind theories for massless spin-1
particles, while the reparametrization symmetry is behind
Einstein's gravity theory for massless spin-2 particles. In
supersymmetric theories these particles can be connected also to
massless fermionic particles. Does Nature stop at spin-2 or can
there also be massless higher spin theories. In the past strong
indications have been given that such theories do not exist.
However, in recent times ways to evade those constraints have been
found and higher spin gauge theories have been constructed. With
the advent of the AdS/CFT duality correspondence even stronger
indications have been given that higher spin gauge theories play an
important role in fundamental physics.All these issues were
discussed at a recent international workshop in Singapore where the
leading scientists in the field participated. This volume presents
an up-to-date, detailed overview of the theories including its
historic background, as well as the latest accomplishments in
understanding the foundational properties of higher spin physics.
