abstract

We propose that the euclidean bilocal collective field theory of critical large-N vector models provides a complete definition of the proposed dual theory of higher spin fields in anti de-Sitter spaces. We show how this bilocal field can be decomposed into an infinite number of even spin fields in one more dimension. The collective field has a nontrivial classical solution which leads to a O(N) thermodynamic entropy characteristic of the lower dimensional theory, as required by general considerations of holography. A subtle cancellation of the entropy coming from the bulk fields in one higher dimension with O(1) contributions from the classical solution ensures that the subleading terms in thermodynamic quantities are of the expected form. While the spin components of the collective field transform properly under dilatational, translational and rotational isometries of $AdS$, special conformal transformations mix fields of different spins indicating a need for a nonlocal map between the two sets of fields. We discuss the nature of the propagating degrees of freedom through a hamiltonian form of collective field theory and argue that nonsinglet states which are present in an euclidean version are related to nontrivial backgrounds.

  1. Overcrowding and the Finite-$N$ Hilbert Space

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    For d Hermitian N x N matrices, any all-single-trace choice of primary coordinates must miss a trace direction by degree 2 log_d N + log_d log_d N + O(1), parametrically below the first trace identity.

  2. Absorption of closed strings by giant gravitons

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The projector reinterpretation of the Jiang-Komatsu-Vescovi effective theory shows that integrability selection rules hold for maximal and near-maximal giants, but fail for sub-maximal giants and dual giants.

  3. Finite-$N$ Operator Algebras and the Hilbert Space of Bilocal Holography

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The finite-N singlet Hilbert space of bilocal holography is a single irreducible representation of an invariant dual-pair master algebra, so finite-N trace relations become representation-theoretic identities.

  4. Self-dual holography: four-point AdS/CFT correlators in higher-spin gravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Develops holographic dictionary for self-dual higher-spin theories and computes four-point AdS/CFT correlators in a higher-spin extension of self-dual Yang-Mills.

  5. On consistency of the interacting (anti)holomorphic higher-spin sector

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A. V. Korybut proves that Didenko's generating system for (anti)holomorphic higher-spin vertices is dx-consistent despite the failure of the Leibniz rule, using new star-exchange-like identities for the limiting star product.

  6. Yang-Mills interaction from boundary vector model

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The ERG flow of the USp(2N) singlet sector of a free 3D U(2N) scalar theory yields a bulk AdS4 cubic action that is on-shell equivalent to Yang-Mills plus a field-strength-cubed term.
