Higher Spin Theory or Higher Spin Gravity is a common name for field theories that contain massless fields of spin greater than two. Usually, the spectrum of such theories containsthe graviton as a massless spin-two field, which explains the second name. Massless fields are gauge fields and the theories should be (almost) completely fixed by these higher spin symmetries. Higher spin theories are supposed to be consistent quantum theories and, for this reason, to give examples of quantum gravity. Most of the interest in the topic is due to the AdS/CFT correspondence where there is a number of conjectures relating higher spin theories to weakly coupled conformal field theories. It is important to note that only certain parts of these theories are known at present (in particular, standard act
