We describe a supersymmetric example of the holographic duality between 3 dimensional vector models and higher spin gauge theories in AdS_4, first proposed in a bosonic context by Klebanov and Polyakov. We argue that a particular…
We examine the curvature expansion of a the field equations of a four-dimensional higher spin gauge theory extension of anti-de Sitter gravity. The theory contains massless particles of spin 0,2,4,... that arise in the symmetric product of…

We construct spectra of supersymmetric higher spin theories in D=4, 5 and 7 from twistors describing massless (super-)particles on AdS spaces. A massless twistor transform is derived in a geometric way from classical kinematics. Relaxing…

We shortly review the bi-local, collective dipole mechanism to a construction of Higher Spin AdS Gravity from the O(N) vector field theory. We also make some comments regarding an exact nonlinear comparison and in this regard we present a…
Conserved currents of any spin $t>0$ built from bosonic symmetric massless gauge fields of arbitrary integer spins in $AdS_4$ are found. Analogously to the case of $4d$ Minkowski space, currents considered in this paper are not gauge…
In this paper we study spin 2 fluctuations around a warped $AdS_3 \times S^2 \times T^4 \times \mathcal{I}_{\rho}$ background in type IIA supergravity with small $\mathcal{N} = (0,4)$ supersymmetry. We find a class of fluctuations, which…

A higher spin field theory on AdS(4) possesses a conformal field theory on the boundary R(3) which can be identified with the critical O(N) sigma model of O(N) invariant fields only. The notions of quasiprimary and secondary fields can be…
A new construction for gauge invariant functionals in the nonlinear higher-spin theory is proposed. Being supported by differential forms closed by virtue of the higher-spin equations, invariant functionals are associated with central…
A local gauge invariant interaction Lagrangian for two gauge fields of spin $\ell$ and $\ell-2$ $(\ell>2)$ and the scalar field is defined. It gives rise to one-loop corrections to the gauge field propagator. The loop function contains the…
