Formal higher-spin theories and Kontsevich–Shoikhet–Tsygan formality

The formal algebraic structures that govern higher-spin theories within the unfolded approach turn out to be related to an extension of the Kontsevich formality, namely, the Shoikhet–Tsygan formality. Effectively, this allows one to construct the Hochschild cocycles of higher-spin algebras that make...
