On conformal higher spin wave operators
We analyze free conformal higher spin actions and the corresponding wave operators in arbitrary even dimensions and backgrounds. We show that the wave operators do not factorize in general, and identify the Weyl tensor and its derivatives as the obstruction to factorization. We give a manifestly factorized form for them on (A)dS backgrounds for arbitrary spin and on Einstein backgrounds for spi...
متن کاملIrreversibility and Higher-spin Conformal Field Theory
I discuss the properties of the central charges c and a for higher-derivative and higher-spin theories (spin 2 included). Ordinary gravity does not admit a straightforward identification of c and a in the trace anomaly, because it is not conformal. On the other hand, higherderivative theories can be conformal, but have negative c and a. A third possibility is to consider higher-spin conformal f...
متن کاملOrdering and Broken Symmetry in Short-Ranged Spin Glasses
In this topical review we discuss the nature of the low-temperature phase in both infiniteranged and short-ranged spin glasses. We analyze the meaning of pure states in spin glasses, and distinguish between physical, or “observable”, states and (probably) unphysical, “invisible” states. We review replica symmetry breaking, and describe what it would mean in shortranged spin glasses. We introduc...
متن کاملTime-reversal-symmetry-broken quantum spin Hall effect.
The quantum spin Hall (QSH) state of matter is usually considered to be protected by time-reversal (TR) symmetry. We investigate the fate of the QSH effect in the presence of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling and an exchange field, which break both inversion and TR symmetries. It is found that the QSH state characterized by nonzero spin Chern numbers C(±) = ±1 persists when the TR symmetry is brok...
متن کاملHigher Spin Symmetry and N = 4 SYM
We assemble the spectrum of single-trace operators in free N = 4 SU (N) SYM theory into irreducible representations of the Higher Spin symmetry algebra hs(2, 2|4). Higher Spin representations or YT-pletons are associated to Young tableaux (YT) corresponding to representations of the symmetric group compatible with the cyclicity of color traces. After turning on interactions g YM = 0, YT-pletons...
