We formulate a first quantized construction of the AdS d+1 /CFT d correspondence using the bi-local representation of the free d-dimensional large-N vector model. The earlier reconstruction of AdS 4 higher spin gravity provides a scheme where the AdS spacetime (and higher spin fields) is given by the composite bi-local fields. The underlying first quantized, world-sheet picture is extracted in the present work and generalized to any dimension. A higher spin AdS particle model is shown to emerge from the collective biparticle system of Minkowski particles through a canonical transformation. As such, this construction provides a simple explicit mechanism of the AdS/CFT correspondence.
We derive a collective field theory of the singlet sector of the Sp(2N ) sigma model. Interestingly the Hamiltonian for the bilocal collective field is the same as that of the O(N ) model. However, the large-N saddle points of the two models differ by a sign. This leads to a fluctuation Hamiltonian with a negative quadratic term and alternating signs in the nonlinear terms which correctly reproduces the correlation functions of the singlet sector. Assuming the validity of the connection between O(N ) collective fields and higher spin fields in AdS, we argue that a natural interpretation of this theory is by a double analytic continuation, leading to the dS/CFT correspondence proposed by Anninos, Hartman and Strominger. The bilocal construction gives a map into the bulk of de Sitter space-time. Its geometric pseudospin-representation provides a framework for quantization and definition of the Hilbert space. We argue that this is consistent with finite N Grassmannian constraints, establishing the bi-local representation as a nonperturbative framework for quantization of Higher Spin Gravity in de Sitter space. 1
Following the work of Maldacena and Zhiboedov, we study the implementation of the Coleman–Mandula theorem in the free O(N)/higher spin correspondence. In the bi-local framework we first define an S-matrix for scattering of collective dipoles. Its evaluation in the case of free UV fixed point theory leads to the result S = 1 stated in the title. We also present an appropriate field transformation that is seen to transform away all the nonlinear 1/N interactions of this theory. A change of boundary conditions and/or external potentials results in a nontrivial theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
