Higher-spin symmetry in AdS and CFT

abstract:

I will discuss the implications of extended symmetries in higher dimensional CFT's and show that the algebra they generate, the higher-spin algebra, is unique (which extends Maldacena-Zhiboedov results). As an infinite-dimensional extension of conformal symmetries higher-spin algebras can be used to restrict correlation functions and I will present an explicit formula that computes all correlators in unbroken Vasiliev higher-spin theory.
