Abstract

I review recent work on the holographic relation between higher‐spin theories in Anti‐de Sitter spaces and conformal field theories. I present the main results of studies concerning the higher‐spin holographic dual of the three‐dimensional O(N) vector model. I discuss the special role played by certain double‐trace deformations in Conformal Field Theories that have higher‐spin holographic duals. Moreover, I show that duality transformations in a U(1) gauge theory on AdS~4~ induce boundary double‐trace deformations and argue that a similar effect takes place in the holography of linearized higher‐spin theories on AdS~4~.

## Abstract We review the construction of consistent higher‐spin theories based on Chern‐Simons actions. To this end we first introduce the required higher‐spin algebras and discuss curvature and torsion tensors in an unconstrained way. Finally we perform a perturbative analysis of the Chern‐Simons

## Abstract We review the recent proposal for the full string spectrum on AdS~5~ × __S__^5^ at the higher spin symmetry enhancement point and its agreement with the free SYM spectrum. The spectrum exhibits a hidden symmetry structure larger than expected, with bosonic subgroup __SO__(10,2) and thir
