Light-cone AdS/CFT-adapted approach to AdS fields/currents, shadows, and conformal fields

Understand

Light-cone gauge formulation of fields in AdS space and conformal field theory in flat space adapted for the study of AdS/CFT correspondence is developed.

• Arbitrary spin mixed-symmetry fields in AdS space and arbitrary spin mixed-symmetry currents, shadows, and conformal fields in flat space are considered on an equal footing.
• For the massless and massive fields in AdS and the conformal fields in flat space, simple light-cone gauge actions leading to decoupled equations of motion are found.
• For the currents and shadows, simple expressions for all 2-point functions are also found.
