The local Gromov-Witten theory of curves is solved by localization and degeneration methods. Localization is used for the exact evaluation of basic integrals in the local Gromov-Witten theory of P^1. A TQFT formalism is defined via…
We investigate generic flat-space higher spin theories in three dimensions and find a no-go result, given certain assumptions that we spell out. Namely, it is only possible to have at most two out of the following three properties:…
We construct the higher spin wave functions in the embedding space of anti-de Sitter Lorentzian spacetime. These wave functions are built from a primary wave functions that has a simple structure expressed in terms of the special conformal…
In this note we provide some details on the quasi-local field redefinitions which map interactions extracted from Vasiliev's equations to those obtained via holographic reconstruction. Without loss of generality, we focus on the source to…
A duality between the large N 't Hooft limit of the WD_N minimal model CFTs and a higher spin gravity theory on AdS3 is proposed. The gravity theory has massless spin fields of all even spins s=2,4,6,..., as well as two real scalar fields…
We propose an explicitly calculable example of holography on 3-dimensional de Sitter space by providing a prescription to analytic continue a higher-spin holography on 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. Applying the de Sitter holography,…

We study correlation functions of Wilson loops and local operators in a subsector of N=4 SYM which preserves two supercharges. Localization arguments allow to map the problem to a calculation in bosonic two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. In…
We investigate new boundary conditions in three-dimensional asymptotically Anti-de Sitter gravity coupled to higher-spin fields, allowing for arbitrary boundary degrees of freedom. This generalization gives rise to an enlarged algebra of…
We consider the group manifold approach to higher spin theory. The deformed local higher spin transformation is realized as the diffeomorphism transformation in the group manifold $\textbf{M}$. With the suitable rheonomy condition and the…
We review a new perspective on higher-spin holography, whereby Vasiliev's 4D higher-spin gravity emerges together with a 3D counterpart, consisting of coloured conformal matter fields coupled to topological conformal higher-spin and colour…
We propose a complete microscopic definition of the Hilbert space of minimal higher spin de Sitter quantum gravity and its Hartle-Hawking vacuum state. The fundamental degrees of freedom are $2N$ bosonic fields living on the future…
This paper completes the analysis initiated in the companion work arXiv:2403.02283 -- referred to as Paper I -- by showing how Vasiliev's 4D higher-spin gravity (HSG) and 3D coloured conformal matter fields coupled to conformal higher-spin…
By use of the AdS/CFT correspondence on orbifolds, models are derived which can contain the standard model of particle phenomenology. It will be assumed that the theory becomes conformally invariant at a renormalization-group fixed-point in…
We formulate a first quantized construction of the AdS_{d+1}/CFT_d correspondence using the bi-local representation of the free d-dimensional large N vector model. The earlier reconstruction of AdS_4 higher-spin gravity provides a scheme…
We find the exact quantum gravity partition function on the static patch of 3d de Sitter spacetime. We have worked in the Chern Simons Formulation of 3d Gravity. To obtain a non-perturbative result, we supersymmetrized the Chern Simons…
We discuss recent endeavours in connecting twistor theory to higher-spin theories and the IKKT- matrix model. Starting with a brief review on higher-spin algebra hs in four-dimensional target space, we elucidate how higher-spin symmetry can…
To better understand the possible breakdown of locality in quantum gravitational systems, we pursue the identity of precursors in the context of AdS/CFT. Holography implies a breakdown of standard bulk locality which we expect to occur only…
An approach to generalize any kind of collinear functionals in density functional theory to non-collinear functionals is proposed. This approach, for the very first time, satisfies the correct collinear limit for any kind of functionals,…
We show that the one-loop partition function of any higher spin field in $(d+1)$-dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetime can be expressed as an integral transform of an $\text{SO}(2,d)$ bulk character and an $\text{SO}(2,d-2)$ edge character.…
