Following arXiv:1308.2337, we carry out one loop tests of higher spin AdS$_{d+1}$/CFT$_d$ correspondences for $d\geq 2$. The Vasiliev theories in AdS$_{d+1}$, which contain each integer spin once, are related to the $U(N)$ singlet sector of…

We suggest a new spin-4 self-dual model (parity singlet) and a new spin-4 parity doublet in $D=2+1$. They are of higher order in derivatives and are described by a totally symmetric rank-4 tensor without extra auxiliary fields. Despite the…

Vasiliev's higher spin supergravity theory on three dimensional anti-de Sitter space is studied and, in particular, the partition function is computed at one loop level. The dual conformal field theory is proposed to be the N=(2,2) CP^N…

This study reconsidered the N=1 supersymmetric extension of the W_3 algebra which was studied previously. This extension consists of seven higher spin supercurrents (fourteen higher spin currents in the components) as well as the N=1 stress…

The 16 higher spin currents with spins (1, 3/2, 3/2, 2), (3/2, 2, 2, 5/2), (3/2, 2, 2, 5/2) and (2, 5/2, 5/2, 3) in an extension of large N=4 `nonlinear' superconformal algebra in two dimensions were obtained previously. By analyzing the…

We assemble the spectrum of single-trace operators in free N=4 SU(N) SYM theory into irreducible representations of the Higher Spin symmetry algebra hs(2,2|4). Higher Spin representations or YT-pletons are associated to Young tableaux (YT)…

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…

In the conventional formulation of N=1 supersymmetry, a vector multiplet is supposed to be in the adjoint representation of a given gauge group. We present a new formulation with a vector multiplet in the non-adjoint representation of SO(N)…

In this paper we construct a map between a solution of supersymmetric Chern-Simons higher spin gravity based on the superalgebra $sl(3|2)$ with Lifshitz scaling and the $N=2$ super Boussinesq hierarchy. We show that under this map the time…

We analyze the asymptotic symmetry of higher spin gravity with $M \times M$ matrix valued fields, which is given by rectangular W-algebras with su$(M)$ symmetry. The matrix valued extension is expected to be useful for the relation between…

We formulate gauge invariant interactions of totally symmetric tensor and tensor-spinor higher spin gauge fields in AdS(5) that properly account for higher-spin-gravitational interactions at the action level in the first nontrivial order.

We consider 't Hooft anomalies of four-dimensional gauge theories whose fermion matter content admits $Spin_G(4)$ generalized spin structure, with $G$ either gauged or a global symmetry. We discuss methods to directly compute $w_2\cup w_3$…

In the coset model $(D_N^{(1)} \oplus D_N^{(1)},D_N^{(1)})$ at levels $(k_1,k_2)$, the higher spin $4$ current that contains the quartic WZW currents contracted with completely symmetric $SO(2N)$ invariant $d$ tensor of rank $4$ is…

In this paper we discuss a higher spin extension of the holographic symmetry algebra for graviton and gluon. Our primary observation is that in the presence of higher spin particles the soft symmetry algebra has a subalgebra isomorphic to…
