Conformal Lagrangians from the (formal) near boundary analysis of AdS gauge fields

Abstract

A simple generating procedure for Lagrangians of conformal gauge fields of mixed-symmetry type is presented. The construction originates from the analysis of the near-boundary behaviour of the associated AdS gauge fields using the ambient space approach to leading boundary values. Manifestly ambient form of the Lagrangian is also obtained. As an illustration we apply the procedure to the simplest mixed-symmetry conformal gauge field, described by the two-row Young diagram, and derive the explicit component form of the respective Lagrangian.

arXiv commentManifestly invariant form of the Lagrangian is added, typos corrected, and refs added
