High Energy Physics - Theory 2024-05-13 v3

Abstract

Conserved currents of any spin t>0t>0 built from bosonic symmetric massless gauge fields of arbitrary integer spins in AdS4AdS_4 are found. Analogously to the case of 4d4d Minkowski space, currents considered in this paper are not gauge invariant but generate gauge invariant conserved charges.
