QG group meeting: Recent developments in higher-spin gravity

This is the weekly Quantum Gravity group meeting.

Title:
Recent developments in higher-spin gravity

Abstract:
I will share my impressions from the recent higher-spin theory workshop in Pohang. There seem to be some important current developments on the issue of locality in higher-spin gravity, and more generally on the issue of how to turn the Vasiliev equations into actual field equations for the physical degrees of freedom.
