In the self-dual higher-spin theory, a scalar vacuum that breaks AdS symmetry to 3D Poincaré makes all higher-spin gauge fields decouple except spin one, and makes higher-spin currents non-conserved except the spin-one current.

abstract
The concepts of compact and projectively-compact spin-local spinor vertices are introduced. Vertices of this type are shown to be space-time spin-local, i.e. their restriction to any finite subset of fields is space-time local. The known spinor spin-local cubic vertices with the minimal number of space-time derivatives are verified to be projectively-compact. This has the important consequence that spinor spin-locality of the respective quartic vertices would imply their space-time spin-locality. More generally, it is argued that the proper class of solutions of the non-linear higher-spin equations that leads to the minimally non-local (presumably space-time spin-local) vertices is represented by the projectively-compact vertices. The related aspects of the higher-spin holographic correspondence are briefly discussed.

On symmetry breaking in the self-dual higher-spin theory
In the self-dual higher-spin theory, a scalar vacuum that breaks AdS symmetry to 3D Poincaré makes all higher-spin gauge fields decouple except spin one, and makes higher-spin currents non-conserved except the spin-one current.
