Abstract

In this paper we relate the parity-odd part of two and three point correlation functions in theories with exactly conserved or weakly broken higher spin symmetries to the parity-even part which can be computed from free theories. We also comment on higher point functions.The well known connection of CFT correlation functions with de-Sitter amplitudes in one higher dimension implies a relation between parity-even and parity-odd amplitudes calculated using non-minimal interactions such as {mathcal{W}}^3 and {mathcal{W}}^2tilde{mathcal{W}} . In the flat-space limit this implies a relation between parity-even and parity-odd parts of flat-space scattering amplitudes.

  • AdS4 × S7 [8, 9]

  • It was shown in [47], that correlation functions in spinor-helicity variables in Chern-Simons matter theories can be written down using either free fermionic or free bosonic results. This poses the question, if this relation is special to spinor-helicity variables, or can one find out such relations in position space and momentum space as well? The aim of this note is to write down a precise relation between the parity-even and the parity-odd contributions to a correlator in position and momentum space

  • This relation in particular would imply that the parity-odd part of the correlation function of conserved currents can be obtained from free theory

Summary

Relation between parity-even and parity-odd projection operators

We collect the orthogonal projectors that will be useful in the subsequent sections. We use the following parity-even projector to project spin-1 conserved currents πμν (k). For spin-2 conserved currents, projectors are defined such that they are orthogonal and traceless. The parity-even and parity-odd projectors in this case are given by. A relation between even and odd projectors. We observe the following relations between the parity-even and the parity-odd projectors defined above. For the spin-1 case, we have 1 k μαkπαν (k) = χμν (k),. It is convenient to state these relations in terms of transverse, null polarization vectors which satisfy ki · zi = 0 and zi2 = 0. Takes the parity-even projector to the parity-odd projector
