AdS-CFT correspondence for the massive Rarita-Schwinger field - art. no. 026002

The complete solution to the massive Rarita-Schwinger field equation in ant i-de Sitter space is constructed, and used in the AdS-CFT correspondence to calculate the correlators for the boundary conformal field theory. It is f ound that when no condition is imposed on the field solution, there appear two different boundary conformal field operators, one coupling to a Rarita- Schwinger field and the other to a Dirac field. These two operators are see n to have different scaling dimensions, with that of the spinor-coupled ope rator exhibiting a nonanalytic mass dependence.
