Anti de Sitter space and holography

E Witten - arxiv preprint hep-th/9802150, 1998 - arxiv.org
Recently, it has been proposed by Maldacena that large $ N $ limits of certain conformal
field theories in $ d $ dimensions can be described in terms of supergravity (and string …

Correlation functions in the CFTd/AdSd+ 1 correspondence

DZ Freedman, SD Mathur, A Matusis, L Rastelli - Nuclear Physics B, 1999 - Elsevier

Bulk versus boundary dynamics in anti–de Sitter spacetime

V Balasubramanian, P Kraus, A Lawrence - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS

Higher-spin gauge interactions for massive matter fields in 3D AdS space-time

SF Prokushkin, MA Vasiliev - Nuclear physics B, 1999 - Elsevier
A remarkable feature of the models with interactions exhibiting higher-spin (HS) gauge
