A bstract We consider several aspects of unitary higher-dimensional conformal field theories
(CFTs). We first study massive deformations that trigger a flow to a gapped phase. Deep …

Higher Spin Gravity refers to extensions of gravity including at least one field of spin greater
than two. These extensions are expected to provide manageable models of quantum gravity …

A bstract We formulate a series of conjectures relating the geometry of conformal manifolds
to the spectrum of local operators in conformal field theories in d> 2 spacetime dimensions …

A bstract We initiate an approach to constraining conformal field theory (CFT) data at finite
temperature using methods inspired by the conformal bootstrap for vacuum correlation …

A bstract Clarifying the locality properties of higher-spin gravity is a pressing task, but
notoriously difficult due to the absence of a weakly-coupled flat regime. The simplest non …

This review is an elaboration of recent results on the holographic re-construction of metric-
like interactions in higher-spin gauge theories on anti-de Sitter space (AdS), employing their …

We propose a self-contained description of Vasiliev higher-spin theories with the emphasis
on nonlinear equations. The main sections are supplemented with some additional material …

In these lectures we give an overview of the duality between gravitational theories of
massless higher spin fields in AdS and large N vector models. We first review the original …

Chiral higher spin gravity is unique in being the smallest higher spin extension of gravity and
in having a simple local action both in flat and (anti-) de Sitter spaces. It must be a closed …

A bstract Vasiliev's type A higher spin theories in AdS 4 have been conjectured to be dual to
the U (N) or O (N) singlet sectors in 3-d conformal field theories with N-component scalar …
