We analyze a bulk effective field theory in AdS containing a U(1)-charged massive spin-2 field coupled to a gauge field, by performing the required holographic renormalization, and computing the one and two-point functions. We then compute…
In this work we construct a novel associative algebra and use it to define a theory of higher-spin gravity in (2+1)-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes. Our construction is based on a quotient of the universal enveloping algebra…
We study the general structure of the AdS_5/CFT_4 correspondence in type IIB string theory from the perspective of generalized geometry. We begin by defining a notion of "generalized Sasakian geometry," which consists of a contact structure…

We show that a Dynamical AdS/QCD model is able to reproduce the linear Regge trajectories for the light-flavor sector of mesons with high spin and also for the scalar and pseudoscalar ones. In addition the model has confinement by the…

We present four-dimensional gauge theories that describe physics on five-dimensional curved (warped) backgrounds, which includes bulk fields with various spins (vectors, spinors, and scalars). Field theory on the AdS$_5$ geometry is…
We suggest a model of the large N limit ${\cal N}=4$ D=4 SU(N) SYM as a gas of 3-branes in a 10 dimensional space. Field theory analysis suggests that this 10 dimensional space does not carry the usual gravity dynamics but rather a…
Conformal totally symmetric arbitrary spin bosonic fields in flat space-time of even dimension greater than or equal to four are studied. Second-derivative (ordinary-derivative) formulation for such fields is developed. We obtain gauge…
