Holography in 4D (Super) Higher Spin Theories and a Test via Cubic Scalar Couplings
The correspondences proposed previously between higher spin gauge theories
and free singleton field theories were recently extended into a more complete
picture by Klebanov and Polyakov in the case of the minimal bosonic theory in
D=4 to include the strongly coupled fixed point of the 3d O(N) vector model.
Here we propose an N=1 supersymmetric version of this picture. We also
elaborate on the role of parity in constraining the bulk interactions, and in
distinguishing two minimal bosonic models obtained as two different consistent
truncations of the minimal N=1 model that retain the scalar or the
pseudo-scalar field. We refer to these models as the Type A and Type B models,
respectively, and conjecture that the latter is holographically dual to the 3d
Gross-Neveu model. In the case of the Type A model, we show the vanishing of
the three-scalar amplitude with regular boundary conditions. This agrees with
the O(N) vector model computation of Petkou, thereby providing a non-trivial
test of the Klebanov-Polyakov conjecture.Comment: 30p
