We examine anomalous dimensions of higher spin currents in the critical O(N) scalar model and the Gross-Neveu model in arbitrary d dimensions. These two models are proposed to be dual to the type A and type B Vasiliev theories,…

Scalar field theories in $\text{(A)dS}_{2}$ with integer scaling dimensions $\Delta = k+1$ are characterised by the existence of a pair of (anti-)holomorphic higher-spin currents. We explore the consequences of this to describe their…

Infinite set of higher spin conserved charges is found for the $sp(2M)$ symmetric dynamical systems in $\f{1}{2} M (M+1)$-dimensional generalized spacetime $\M_M$. Since the dynamics in $\M_M$ is equivalent to the conformal dynamics of…
