abstract

All correlation functions of conserved currents of the CFT that is dual to unbroken Vasiliev theory are found as invariants of higher-spin symmetry in the bulk of AdS. The conformal and higher-spin symmetry of the correlators as well as the conservation of currents are manifest, which also provides a direct link between the Maldacena-Zhiboedov result and higher-spin symmetries. Our method is in the spirit of AdS/CFT, though we never take any boundary limit or compute any bulk integrals. Boundary-to-bulk propagators are shown to exhibit an algebraic structure, living at the boundary of SpH(4), semidirect product of Sp(4) and the Heisenberg group. N-point correlation function is given by a product of N elements.

Amplitudes in self-dual (higher-spin) theories

hep-th · 2026-04-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

All self-dual theories with or without higher-spin fields possess nontrivial tree-level amplitudes in Kleinian or complex Minkowski kinematics, completing the celestial analogue of the higher-spin duality.

Topological Fields in $4d$ Higher Spin Theory

hep-th · 2026-03-09 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Topological fields in 4d higher spin theory have a finite number of degrees of freedom and admit a gauge-invariant cubic action for interactions with physical higher spin fields.
