Cover Story: In recent literature, several new tests of the higher-spin Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence have been carried out. These tests involve leading quantum corrections of the higher spin theory in the d + 1 dimensional AdS space, which correspond to 1/N corrections in the d-dimensional large N CFT. We extend these results to a more general set of theories in various space–time dimensions d > 2. In addition to the "Type A" theories which are dual to vector model CFTs of N scalar fields, we study the "Type B" theories, which have been conjectured to be dual to CFTs constructed from N fermionic fields. We also explore the "Type C" theories, which are conjecturally dual to the CFTs of p-form gauge fields, where p = d/2 − 1, including the theories of N Maxwell fields in four space–time dimensions.

In this article, we start by presenting state-of-the-art methods allowing us to compute moments related to the globally conserved baryon number, by means of first principle resummed perturbative frameworks. We focus on such quantities for they convey...

The Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (SZ) effect is a global distortion of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) spectrum as a result of its interaction with a hot electron plasma in the intracluster medium of large structures gravitationally viralized such as gal...

19 January 2018

In recent literature, one-loop tests of the higher-spin AdS d + 1 /CFT d correspondences were carried out. Here, we extend these results to a more general set of theories in d > 2 . First, we consider the Type B higher spin...

Can the holographic principle be extended beyond the well-known AdS/CFT correspondence? During the last couple of years, there has been a substantial amount of research trying to find answers for this question. In this work, we provide a review of re...

We investigate cubic interactions between a chiral superfield and higher spin superfields corresponding to irreducible representations of the 4 D , N = 1 super-Poincaré algebra. We do this by demanding an invariance under the most general tr...

More and more works deal with statistical systems far from equilibrium, dominated by unidirectional stochastic processes, augmented by rare resets. We analyze the construction of the entropic distance measure appropriate for such dynamics. We demonst...

In four space-time dimensions, there exists a special infinite-parameter family of chiral modified gravity theories. They are most properly described by a connection field, with space-time metric being a secondary and derived concept. All these theor...

The 2 + 1 + 1 decomposition of space-time is useful in monitoring the temporal evolution of gravitational perturbations/waves in space-times with a spatial direction singled-out by symmetries. Such an approach based on a perpendicular double foliatio...

It was argued recently that the holographic higher spin theory features non-local interactions. We further elaborate on these results using the Mellin representation. The main difficulty previously encountered in this method is that the Mellin amplit...
