abstract

We analyse the general structure of the three-point functions involving conserved bosonic and fermionic higher-spin currents in three-dimensional conformal field theory. Using the constraints of conformal symmetry and conservation equations, we use a computational formalism to analyse the general structure of $\langle J^{}_{s_{1}} J'_{s_{2}} J''_{s_{3}} \rangle$, where $J^{}_{s_{1}}$, $J'_{s_{2}}$ and $J''_{s_{3}}$ are conserved currents with spins $s_{1}$, $s_{2}$ and $s_{3}$ respectively (integer or half-integer). The calculations are completely automated for any chosen spins and are limited only by computer power. We find that the correlation function is in general fixed up to two independent even structures, and one odd structure, subject to a set of triangle inequalities. We also analyse the structure of three-point functions involving higher-spin currents and fundamental scalars and spinors.

  1. Symmetric formulation for higher spin correlators, quantum effective action and anomaly

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The trace anomaly of the higher-spin conformal effective action is shown to be the single source of both trace and gauge anomalies, with a 2s-derivative structure in d=4.

  2. Constructive approach to solution of the conservation condition for conformal higher spin tree-point correlation function with equal spins

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For equal-spin currents up to spin four, conserved three-point correlators can be constructed explicitly as linear combinations of products of spin-one and spin-two Osborn-Petkou building blocks.
