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

We develop a constructive framework for the three-point higher spin conformal correlation function, originally introduced in our previous work, and apply it as the foundation for constructing the quantum effective action of the corresponding higher spin conformal gauge theory. Employing a symmetric refinement of the earlier construction, we analyze the principal singularity of the three-point function and the associated effective action. This leads to a general method for extracting the dominant singularity and investigating the anomalous local contributions to the effective action.

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

We propose a new constructive approach to the solutions of the conservation condition for the three-point conformal correlation function in the Osborn-Petkou formulation generalized by the authors for higher spins. We propose for correlation functions of the same spin conformal currents the general hypothesis that the Osborn-Petkou structural tensor of higher spins satisfying the right symmetry conditions can be obtained from the combination of the principal terms of spin one and two structural tensors raised to the degree corresponding to the value of spin s. We verified this hypothesis for the case of spin three and four and showed that the construction of the conserved three-point function can be reduced to the algebraic task of canceling the right hand sides of the divergences of constructed terms. Moreover it follows from this consideration that for spin three and four cases our solutions can be interpreted as the $CFT$-dual to the cubic interaction in the AdS space with one dimension more.

On correlation functions of higher-spin currents in arbitrary dimensions $d>3$

We revisit the problem of classification and explicit construction of the conformal three-point correlation functions of currents of arbitrary integer spin in arbitrary dimensions. For the conserved currents, we set up the equations for the conservation conditions and solve them completely for some values of spins, confirming the earlier counting of the number of independent structures matching them with the higher-spin cubic vertices in one higher dimension. The general solution for the correlators of conserved currents we delegate to a follow-up work.

On special quartic interaction of higher spin gauge fields with scalars and gauge symmetry commutator in the linear approximation

Local quartic interaction of higher-spin gauge field with a scalar field is considered. In this special case, the nontrivial task of construction of interacting Lagrangian for the higher spin field in physical gauge was solved using the full power of Noether's procedure. As a result, the linear on-field gauge transformation is obtained and the corresponding commutator of transformation is analyzed. To understand the closure of this algebra the right-hand side of this commutator is classified in respect to gauge transformations coming from cubic interactions with different higher spin symmetric tensor fields and with mixed symmetry tensor fields transformations.

Cubic Interaction for Higher Spins in $AdS_{d+1}$ space in the explicit covariant form

We present a slightly modified prescription of the radial pullback formalism proposed previously by R. Manvelyan, R. Mkrtchyan and W. Rühl in 2012, where authors investigated possibility to connect the main term of higher spin interaction in flat $d+2$ dimensional space to the main term of interaction in $AdS_{d+1}$ space ignoring all trace and divergent terms but expressed directly through the $AdS$ covariant derivatives and including some curvature corrections. In this paper we succeeded to solve all necessary \emph{recurrence relations} to finalize full radial pullback of the main term of cubic self-interaction for higher spin gauge fields in Fronsdal's formulation from flat to one dimension less $AdS_{d+1}$ space. Nontrivial solutions of recurrence relations lead to the possibility to obtain the full set of $AdS_{d+1}$ dimensional interacting terms with all curvature corrections including trace and divergence terms from any interaction term in $d+2$ dimensional flat space.

Geometrical structure of Weyl invariants for spin three gauge field in general gravitational background in $d=4$

We construct all possible Weyl invariant actions in $d=4$ for linearized spin three field in a general gravitational background. The first action is obtained as the square of the generalized Weyl tensor for a spin three gauge field in nonlinear gravitational background. It is, however, not invariant under spin three gauge transformations. We then construct two other nontrivial Weyl but not gauge invariant actions which are linear in the Weyl tensor of the background geometry. We then discuss existence and uniqueness of a possible linear combination of these three actions which is gauge invariant. We do this at the linear order in the background curvature for Ricci flat backgrounds.

Off-shell superconformal higher spin multiplets in four dimensions

We formulate off-shell N=1 superconformal higher spin multiplets in four spacetime dimensions and briefly discuss their coupling to conformal supergravity. As an example, we explicitly work out the coupling of the superconformal gravitino multiplet to conformal supergravity. The corresponding action is super-Weyl invariant for arbitrary supergravity backgrounds. However, it is gauge invariant only if the supersymmetric Bach tensor vanishes. This is similar to linearised conformal supergravity in curved background.

Charged isotropic non-Abelian dyonic black branes

We construct black holes with a Ricci flat horizon in Einstein--Yang-Mills theory with a negative cosmological constant, which approach asymptotically an AdS$_d$ spacetime background (with $d\geq 4$). These solutions are isotropic, $i.e.$ all space directions in a hypersurface of constant radial and time coordinates are equivalent, and possess both electric and magnetic fields. We find that the basic properties of the non-Abelian solutions are similar to those of the dyonic isotropic branes in Einstein-Maxwell theory (which, however, exist in even spacetime dimensions only). These black branes possess a nonzero magnetic field strength on the flat boundary metric, which leads to a divergent mass of these solutions, as defined in the usual way. However, a different picture is found for odd spacetime dimensions, where a non-Abelian Chern-Simons term can be incorporated in the action. This allows for black brane solutions with a magnetic field which vanishes asymptotically.

On Nonlinear Higher Spin Curvature

We present the first nonlinear term of the higher spin curvature which is covariant with respect to deformed gauge transformations that are linear in the field. We consider in detail the case of spin 3 after presenting spin 2 as an example, and then construct the general spin s quadratic term of the deWit-Freedman curvature.

Radial Reduction and Cubic Interaction for Higher Spins in (A)dS space

We present a new version of the radial reduction formalism to obtain a cubic interaction of higher spin gauge fields in $AdS_{d+1}$ space from the corresponding cubic interaction in a flat $d+2$ dimensional background. We modify the radial reduction procedure proposed previously by T. Biswas and W. Siegel in 2002 and applied to the free higher spin Lagrangian by K. Hallowell and A. Waldron in 2005. This modified radial reduction scheme is applied to interacting massless higher spin fields in Fronsdal's formulation, and all results are expressed in a direct $AdS_{d+1}$ invariant way with $AdS$ covariant derivatives. We present a consistent algorithm and define new procedure to obtain all corrections proportional to powers of the cosmological constant, and apply these to the main term of the cubic self-interaction.

Electrically charged black branes in N=4^+, D=5 gauged supergravity

We analyze the properties of asymptotically AdS electrically charged black brane solutions in a consistent truncation of the N=4^+, D=5 Romans' gauged supergravity which contains gravity, SU(2) and U(1) gauge fields, and a dilaton possessing a nontrivial potential approaching a constant negative value at infinity. We find that the U(1)\times U(1) solutions become unstable to forming non-Abelian hair. These configurations emerge as zero modes of the Abelian solutions at critical temperature and a critical (nonvanishing) ratio of the electric charges and can be viewed as holographic p-wave superfluids.

General trilinear interaction for arbitrary even higher spin gauge fields

Using Noether's procedure we present a complete solution for the trilinear interactions of arbitrary spins $s_{1},s_{2}, s_{3}$ in a flat background, and discuss the possibility to enlarge this construction to higher order interactions in the gauge field. Some classification theorems of the cubic (self)interaction with different numbers of derivatives and depending on relations between the spins are presented. Finally the expansion of a general spin $s$ gauge transformation into powers of the field and the related closure of the gauge algebra in the general case are discussed.

A generating function for the cubic interactions of higher spin fields

We present an off-shell generating function for all cubic interactions of Higher Spin gauge fields constructed in arXiv:1003.2877. It is a generalization of the on-shell generating function proposed in arXiv:1006.5242, is written in a very compact way, and turns out to have a remarkable structure.

Direct construction of a cubic selfinteraction for higher spin gauge fields

Using Noether's procedure we directly construct a complete cubic selfinteraction for the case of spin s=4 in a flat background and discuss the cubic selfinteraction for general spin s with s derivatives in the same background. The leading term of the latter interaction together with the leading gauge transformation of first field order are presented.

Conformal invariant interaction of a scalar field with the higher spin field in AdS_{D}

The explicit form of linearized gauge invariant interactions of scalar and general higher even spin fields in the $AdS_{D}$ space is obtained. In the case of general spin $\ell$ a generalized 'Weyl' transformation is proposed and the corresponding 'Weyl' invariant action is constructed. In both cases the invariant actions of the interacting higher even spin gauge field and the scalar field include the whole tower of invariant actions for couplings of the same scalar with all gauge fields of smaller even spin. For the particular value of $\ell=4$ all results are in exact agreement with hep-th/0403241

Off-shell construction of some trilinear higher spin gauge field interactions

Several trilinear interactions of higher spin fields involving two equal ($s=s_{1}=s_{2}$) and one higher even ($s_{3}\geq 2s$) spin are presented. Interactions are constructed on the Lagrangian level using Noether's procedure together with the corresponding next to free level fields of the gauge transformations. In certain cases when the number of derivatives in the transformation is $2s-1$ the interactions lead to the currents constructed from the generalization of the gravitational Bell-Robinson tensors. In other cases when the number of derivatives in the transformation is more than $2s-1$ we obtain the finite tower of interactions with smaller even spins less than $s_{3}$ in full agreement with our previous results for the interaction of the higher even spins field with a conformal scalar [1,2].

New AdS non Abelian black holes with superconducting horizons

We present arguments for the existence of higher dimensional asymptotically AdS non Abelian black holes with a Ricci flat event horizon and analyze their basic properties. Unlike higher dimensional black holes with a curved horizon, of the usual Einstein-Yang-Mills system, these solutions have finite mass-energy. Below some non-zero critical temperature, they are thermodynamically preferred over the Abelian configurations.

Ultraviolet behaviour of higher spin gauge field propagators and one loop mass renormalization

The ultraviolet singular structure of the bulk-to-bulk propagators for higher spin gauge fields in $AdS_{4}$ space is analyzed in details. Possible interactions with the Higgs scalar and the corresponding one loop mass renormalization are studied. This mass renormalization is finite and connected with the anomalous dimensions of those currents in the corresponding boundary $CFT_{3}$ that cease to be conserved when the interaction is switched on. In particular it is proportional to $\ell-2$.
