Implication

This research reformulates chiral higher-spin theories using twistor space and Chern-Simons frameworks, suggesting the non-commutative nature of these theories.

Key Points

Chiral higher-spin Yang-Mills and gravity are recast as CR-holomorphic theories.
These theories are defined on non-projective twistors and can be Moyal deformed to be non-commutative.
Perturbative analysis reveals the spectrum and three-point vertices, which display various helicity configurations.
The research discusses higher valence vertices emerging as gauge artifacts upon reduction to spacetime.
