We find a class of analytic solutions in open bosonic string field theory, parametrized by the chiral copy of higher spin algebra in $AdS_3$. The solutions are expressed in terms of the generating function for the products of Bell…
Self-dual theories, being UV-finite, should have their own AdS/CFT dualities. Higher-spin extensions of self-dual theories are attractive to simplify the CFT duals. The maximal self-dual theory is Chiral higher-spin gravity, which should be…
The emergence of higher spin fields in the Kac-Moody theoretic approach to M-theory is studied. This is based on work done by Schnakenburg, West and the second author. We then study the relation of higher spin fields in this approach to…
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…
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…
This dissertation consists of three parts. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the study of gravity and higher spin gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. The first part deals with cosmological solutions of spin-3 gravity and their…
Tensionless string theory on AdS3 x S3 x T4, as captured by a free symmetric product orbifold, has a large set of conserved currents which can be usefully organised in terms of representations of a N=(4,4) supersymmetric higher spin…
The CFT dual of the higher spin theory with minimal N = 1 spectrum is determined. Unlike previous examples of minimal model holography, there is no free parameter beyond the central charge, and the CFT can be described in terms of a…
It was shown that the Lie algebra underlying higher-spin holography admits a contraction including a Poincar\'e subalgebra in any space-time dimensions. The associated curvatures, however, do not reproduce upon linearisation those that are…
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…
SYK models provide an interesting playground for exploring the $AdS_2/CFT_1$ correspondence. We focus on a class of SYK models that exhibit higher-spin symmetry, whose gravity sector is described by a BF theory generalizing…
In a previous work, a marginal deformation of 2d coset type model with N=3 superconformal symmetry was studied, and it was interpreted as a change of boundary conditions for bulk fields in the dual higher spin theory. The deformation breaks…
Recently, a 2d coset model with N=3 superconformal symmetry was proposed to be holographic dual to a higher spin supergravity on AdS_3 and the relation to superstring theory was discussed. However, away from the tensionless limit, there is…
Multiparticle extension of a higher-spin algebra $l$ is introduced as the Lie superalgebra associated with the universal enveloping algebra $U(l)$. While conventional higher-spin symmetry does not mix $n$-particle states with different $n$,…
We reformulate chiral higher-spin Yang-Mills and gravity on $\mathbb{R}^4$ as 'CR-holomorphic' theories of Chern-Simons type; in the most general case, these are Moyal deformed to become non-commutative. They are defined on the space of…
Gaberdiel and Gopakumar recently proposed that the tensionless limit of string theory on $AdS_3 \times S^3 \times T^4$ takes the form of a higher spin theory with a gauge algebra that is referred to as the higher spin square. In this note,…
We derive a class of cubic interaction vertices for three higher spin fields, with integer spins $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$, $\lambda_3$, by closing commutators of the Poincar\'e algebra in four-dimensional flat spacetime. We find that these…
We investigate the connection between spacetime wormholes and ensemble averaging in the context of higher spin AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$. Using techniques from modular bootstrap combined with some holographic inputs, we evaluate the partition…
We study W-algebras obtained by quantum Hamiltonian reduction of $sl(Mn)$ associated to the $sl(2)$ embedding of rectangular type. The algebra can be realized as the asymptotic symmetry of higher spin gravity with $M \times M$ matrix valued…
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…
