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.Comment: 16 pages, no figures, A section with the analysis of global symmetries is added. It is shown that the obtained solution is static and supersymmetric. The title is changed correspondingly. Clarifications and references added. Typos related to reality conditions fixe

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

Some results on the invertibility of Toeplitz plus Hankel operators

The paper deals with the invertibility of Toeplitz plus Hankel operators T(a)+H(b) acting on classical Hardy spaces on the unit circle T. It is supposed that the generating functions a and b satisfy the condition a(t)a(1/t)=b(t)b(1/t). Special attention is paid to the case of piecewise continuous generating functions. In some cases the dimensions of null spaces of the operator $T(a)+H(b)$ and its adjoint are described

Test of the local form of higher-spin equations via AdS/CFT

The local form of higher-spin equations found recently to the second order [1] is shown to properly reproduce the anticipated $AdS/CFT$ correlators for appropriate boundary conditions. It is argued that consistent $AdS/CFT$ holography for the parity-broken boundary models needs a nontrivial modification of the bosonic truncation of the original higher-spin theory with the doubled number of fields, as well as a nonlinear deformation of the boundary conditions in the higher orders.Comment: 18 pages, Typos and acknowledgement corrected.
