Abstract
We review the theory of higher spin gauge fields in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensional anti-de Sitter space and present some new results on the structure of higher spin currents and explicit solutions of the massless equations. A previously obtained d=3 integrating flow is generalized to d=4 and is shown to give rise to a perturbative solution of the d=4 nonlinear higher spin equations. A particular attention is paid to the relationship between the star-product origin of the higher spin symmetries, AdS geometry and the concept of space-time locality.

A semi-classical limit of the gauge/string correspondence

TL;DR: In this article, a world-sheet sigma model is applied to string theories dual to four-dimensional gauge theories, and semi-classical soliton solutions representing highly excited string states are identified which correspond to gauge theory operators with relatively small anomalous dimensions.

AdS dual of the critical O(N) vector model

TL;DR: In this article, a general relation between theories of infinite number of higher-spin massless gauge fields in AdS d + 1 and large N conformal theories in d dimensions containing N -component vector fields was proposed.

Nonlinear equations for symmetric massless higher spin fields in (A)dSd

TL;DR: In this article, nonlinear field equations for totally symmetric bosonic massless fields of all spins in any dimension are presented, and a nonlinear nonlinear model of the field equations is proposed.

An AdS_3 Dual for Minimal Model CFTs

TL;DR: In this paper, a duality between the 2d conformal field theories and higher spin theories on the large $N$ 't Hooft limit was proposed. But the duality was not proved for the Singlet sector of large vector models.

The Large N limit of superconformal field theories and supergravity

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the large-N limits of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravityon the product of anti-de Sitter spacetimes, spheres, and other compact manifolds.

Gauge Theory Correlators from Non-Critical String Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a boundary of the anti-deSitter space analogous to a cut-off on the Liouville coordinate of the two-dimensional string theory is introduced to obtain certain Green's functions in 3+1-dimensional N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a large number of colors via non-critical string theory.

String theory dynamics in various dimensions

TL;DR: The strong coupling dynamics of string theories in dimension d ⩾ 4 are studied in this paper, where it is argued that eleven-dimensional supergravity arises as a low energy limit of the ten-dimensional Type IIA superstring.

Spinors and space-time

TL;DR: The calculus of 2-spinors was introduced and systematically developed in this article, which leads not only to a deeper understanding of the structure of space-time, but also provides shortcuts to some very tedious calculations.

Noncommutative Geometry and Matrix Theory: Compactification on Tori

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied toroidal compactification of Matrix theory, using ideas and results of non-commutative geometry, and argued that they correspond in supergravity to tori with constant background three-form tensor field.
