Description
In the first part of this talk, I will sketch a proof for the first part of the CFT Distance Conjecture, which states that higher-spin symmetry must always lie at infinite distance in the conformal manifold of any local CFT in more than two dimensions. In the second part, I will address the stringy origin of these HS symmetries. Among other things, I will discuss a remarkable connection between no scale separation and the Sharpened Distance Conjecture.
