We derived the component Lagrangian for the free N-extended on-shell massless higher spin supermultiplets in four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The construction was based on the frame-like description of massless integer and half-integer higher spin fields. The massless supermultiplets were formulated for N≤4k, where k is a maximal integer or half-integer spin in the multiplet. The supertransformations that leave the Lagrangian invariant were found in explicit form and it was shown that their algebra is closed on-shell.

We consider the divergences at all levels for the statistical entropy of gravitational, electromagnetic, neutrino and scalar fields on extremal and nonextremal Reissner–Nordström–de Sitter space–time background in terms of the brick-wall model. We find that entropy of spin fields within a region near coinciding horizons has higher divergence than usual. The earlier result that the entropy of spin fields is proportional to scalar one or the horizon area holds only for the thin region near an isolated horizon, since the spin-dependent divergences exist in all other cases.

Abstract Higher Spin Gravities are scarce, but covariant actions for them are even scarcer. We construct covariant actions for contractions of Chiral Higher Spin Gravity that represent higher spin extensions of self-dual Yang-Mills and self-dual Gravity theories. The actions give examples of complete higher spin theories both in flat and (anti)-de Sitter spaces that feature gauge and gravitational interactions. The actions are based on a new description of higher spin fields, whose origin can be traced to early works on twistor theory. The new description simplifies the structure of interactions. In particular, we find a covariant form of the minimal gravitational interaction for higher spin fields both in flat and anti-de Sitter space, which resolves some of the puzzles in the literature.

Abstract We explicitly rewrite the path integral for the free or critical O(N) (or U(N)) bosonic vector models in d space-time dimensions as a path integral over fields (including massless high-spin fields) living on (d + 1)-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. Inspired by de Mello Koch, Jevicki, Suzuki and Yoon and earlier work, we first rewrite the vector models in terms of bi-local fields, then expand these fields in eigenmodes of the conformal group, and finally map these eigenmodes to those of fields on anti-de Sitter space. Our results provide an explicit (non-local) action for a high-spin theory on anti-de Sitter space, which is presumably equivalent in the large N limit to Vasiliev’s classical high-spin gravity theory (with some specific gauge-fixing to a fixed background), but which can be used also for loop computations. Our mapping is explicit within the 1/N expansion, but in principle can be extended also to finite N theories, where extra constraints on products of bulk fields need to be taken into account.

Free massless bosonic fields of arbitrary spins s>1, corresponding to symmetric representations of SO(d−2) compact subgroup of the d-dimensional massless flat little group, are described in d-dimensional (anti-) de Sitter space in terms of differential forms. The formulation proposed is a generalization to arbitrary d≥4 of that suggested previously in the four dimensional case, which served in Refs. 1 and 2 as a starting point for introducing consistent gravitational interaction for all massless higher spin fields in d=4.
