Inconsistency of point-particle dynamics on higher-spin backgrounds: massive particles

Abstract Previously, we showed that massless scalar point particles cannot propagate on classical backgrounds of chiral higher-spin theories. This conclusion was derived from the analysis of the light-cone consistency conditions occurring at the second order in interactions. In the present paper, we...
