Charges in nonlinear higher-spin theory

Nonlinear higher-spin equations in four dimensions admit a closed two-form that defines a gauge-invariant global charge as an integral over a two-dimensional cycle. In this paper we argue that this charge gives rise to partitions depending on various lower- and higher-spin chemical potentials identified with modules of topological fields in the theory. The vacuum contribution to the partition is calculated to the first nontrivial order for a solution to higher-spin equations that generalizes AdS4 Kerr black hole of General Relativity. The resulting partition is non-zero being in parametric agreement with the ADM-like behavior of a rotating source. The linear response of chemical potentials to the partition function is also extracted. The explicit unfolded form of 4d GR black holes is given. An explicit formula relating asymptotic higher-spin charges expressed in terms of the generalized higher-spin Weyl tensor with those expressed in terms of Fronsdal fields is obtained.

Perturbative analysis in higher-spin theories

A new scheme of the perturbative analysis of the nonlinear HS equations is developed giving directly the final result for the successive application of the homotopy integrations which appear in the standard approach. It drastically simplifies the analysis and results from the application of the standard spectral sequence approach to the higher-spin covariant derivatives, allowing us in particular to reduce multiple homotopy integrals resulting from the successive application of the homotopy trick to a single integral. Efficiency of the proposed method is illustrated by various examples. In particular, it is shown how the Central on-shell theorem of the free theory immediately results from the nonlinear HS field equations with no intermediate computations.

Elements of Vasiliev theory

We propose a self-contained description of Vasiliev higher-spin theories with the emphasis on nonlinear equations. The main sections are supplemented with some additional material, including introduction to gravity as a gauge theory; the review of the Fronsdal formulation of free higher-spin fields; Young diagrams and tensors as well as sections with advanced topics. The shortest route to Vasiliev equations covers 40 pages. The general discussion is dimension independent, while the essence of the Vasiliev formulation is discussed on the base of the four-dimensional higher-spin theory. Three-dimensional and $d$-dimensional higher-spin theories follow the same logic.

Static BPS black hole in 4d higher-spin gauge theory

We find exact spherically symmetric solution of 4d nonlinear bosonic higher-spin gauge theory, that preserves a quarter of supersymmetries of N=2 supersymmetric 4d higher-spin gauge theory. In the weak field regime it describes $AdS_4$ Schwarzschild black hole in the spin two sector along with non-zero massless fields of all integer spins.

Exact higher-spin symmetry in CFT: all correlators in unbroken Vasiliev theory

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.

Towards higher-spin holography in ambient space of any dimension

We derive the propagators for higher-spin master fields in anti-de Sitter space of arbitrary dimension. A method is developed to construct the propagators directly without solving any differential equations. The use of the ambient space, where AdS is represented as a hyperboloid and its conformal boundary as a projective light-cone, simplifies the approach and makes a direct contact between boundary-to-bulk propagators and two-point functions of conserved currents.

Coordinate independent approach to 5d black holes

Five-dimensional generalization of (A)dS(5)-Kerr black hole is shown to be generated in a coordinate free way by a single AdS(5) global symmetry parameter. Its mass and angular momenta are associated to Casimir invariants of the background space-time symmetry parameter leading to the black hole classification scheme similar to that of relativistic fields resulting apart from ordinary black hole to "tachyonic" and "light-like" ones.

Unfolded Dynamics and Parameter Flow of Generic AdS(4) Black Hole

We present unfolded description of AdS(4) black hole with generic parameters of mass, NUT, magnetic and electric charges as well as two kinematical parameters one of which is angular momentum. A flow with respect to black hole parameters, that relates the obtained black hole unfolded system to the covariant constancy condition for an AdS(4) global symmetry parameter, is found. The proposed formulation gives rise to a coordinate-independent description of the black hole metric in AdS(4). The black hole charges are identified with flow evolution parameters while its kinematical constants are the first integrals of the black hole unfolded system expressed via invariants of the AdS(4) global symmetry parameter. It is shown how the proposed method reproduces various known forms of black hole metrics including the Carter and Kerr-Newman solutions. Free flow gauge parameters allow us to choose different metric representations such as Kerr-Schild, double Kerr-Schild or generalized Carter-Plebanski in the coordinate-independent way.

Unfolded Description of $AdS_4$ Kerr Black Hole

It is shown that $AdS_4$ Kerr black hole is a solution of simple unfolded differential equations that form a deformation of the zero-curvature description of empty $AdS_4$ space-time. Our construction uses the Killing symmetries of the Kerr solution. All known and some new algebraic properties of the Kerr-Schild solution result from the obtained black hole unfolded system in the coordinate-independent way. Kerr Schild type solutions of free equations in $AdS_4$ for massless fields of any spin, associated to the proposed black hole unfolded system, are found.

BTZ Black Hole as Solution of 3d Higher Spin Gauge Theory

BTZ black hole is interpreted as exact solution of 3d higher spin gauge theory. Solutions for free massless fields in BTZ black hole background are constructed with the help of the star-product algebra formalism underlying the formulation of 3d higher spin theory. It is shown that a part of higher spin symmetries remains unbroken for special values of the BTZ parameters.

Free Field Dynamics in the Generalized AdS (Super)Space

Pure gauge representation for general vacuum background fields (Cartan forms) in the generalized $AdS$ superspace identified with $OSp(L,M)$ is found. This allows us to formulate dynamics of free massless fields in the generalized $AdS$ space-time and to find their (generalized) conformal and higher spin field transformation laws. Generic solution of the field equations is also constructed explicitly. The results are obtained with the aid of the star product realization of ortosymplectic superalgebras.
