A quantum field theory on Anti-de-Sitter space can be constructed from a conformal field theory on its boundary Minkowski space by an inversion of the holographic mapping. To do this the conformal field theory must satisfy certain…

Can the holographic principle be extended beyond the well known AdS/CFT correspondence? During the last couple of years there has been a substantial amount of research trying to find answers for this question. In this work we provide a…
We discuss higher spin gauge symmetry breaking in AdS space from a holographic prespective. Indeed, the AdS/CFT correspondence implies that N=4 SYM theory at vanishing coupling constant is dual to a theory in AdS which exhibits higher spin…
The dynamics of totally symmetric free massless higher spin fields in $AdS_d$ is reformulated in terms of the compensator formalism for AdS gravity. The $AdS_5$ higher spin algebra is identified with the star product algebra with the…
We review the theory of higher spin gauge fields in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space and present some new results on the structure of higher spin currents and explicit solutions of the massless equations. A previously obtained…
In the context of higher-spin holography, we compare the classification of cubic interaction vertices for higher-spin gravity theories in three dimensions to the possible three-point correlation functions of conserved higher-spin currents…
We study a duality, recently conjectured by Klebanov and Polyakov, between higher-spin theories on AdS_4 and O(N) vector models in 3-d. These theories are free in the UV and interacting in the IR. At the UV fixed point, the O(N) model has…
We explore the symmetry-broken phase of the self-dual (chiral) sector of higher-spin theory in four dimensions. To that end, we construct a two-parameter vacuum that breaks the AdS symmetry but remains symmetric under the leftover…
We discuss general properties of the theory of higher spin gauge fields in $AdS_4$ focusing on the relationship between the star-product origin of the higher spin symmetries, AdS geometry and the concept of space-time locality. A full list…
The symmetry algebra of massless fields living on the 3-dimensional conformal boundary of AdS(4) is shown to be isomorphic to 3d conformal higher spin algebra (AdS(4) higher spin algebra). A simple realization of this algebra on the free…
We determine the form of a significantly large class of gauge-invariant quartic vertices for symmetric higher-spin fields (in Vasiliev formalism) in AdS5 space in the rectangular limit, (defined in the paper) using the higher-spin vertex…
We analyze the Weyl invariance constraints on higher spin vertex operators in open superstring theory describing massless higher spin gauge field excitations in d-dimensional space-time. We show that these constraints lead to low-energy…
In this letter we provide a complete holographic reconstruction of the cubic couplings in the minimal bosonic higher-spin theory in AdS$_{d+1}$. For this purpose we also determine the OPE coefficients of all single-trace conserved currents…
We demonstrate how three-point correlation functions of the free scalar U(N) model involving two scalar operators and one spin-$s$ conserved current organize themselves into corresponding AdS amplitudes involving two scalar and one spin-$s$…
We derive the propagators for higher-spin master fields in anti-de Sitter space of arbitrary dimension. A method is developed to construct the propagators directly without solving any differential equations. The use of the ambient space,…
The form of higher-spin current interactions in $AdS_4$ is derived from the full nonlinear higher-spin equations in the sector of Weyl 0-forms. The coupling constant in front of spin-one currents built from scalars and spinors as well as…
We consider folded spinning strings in AdS_5xS^5 (with one spin component S in AdS_5 and J in S^5) corresponding to the Tr(D^S Z^J) operators in the sl(2) sector of the N=4 SYM theory in the special scaling limit in which both the string…
The spin-field interaction is considered, in the context of the gauge fields/string correspondence, in the large 't Hooft coupling limit. The latter can be viewed as a WKB-type approximation to the AdS/CFT duality conjecture. Basic…
