Abstract

A higher spin field theory on AdS(4) possesses a conformal theory on the boundary R(3) which can be identified with the critical O(N) sigma model of O(N) invariant fields only. The notions of quasiprimary and secondary fields can be carried over to the AdS theory. If de Donder’s gauge is applied, the traceless part of the higher spin field on AdS(4) is quasiprimary and the Goldstone fields are quasiprimary fields to leading order too. Those fields corresponding to the Goldstone fields in the critical O(N) sigma model are odd-rank symmetric tensor currents which vanish in the free-field limit.
