Hidden sectors of Chern-Simons Matter theories and Exact Holography

Abstract

Chiral higher-spin gravity is a higher-spin extension of both self-dual Yang-Mills and self-dual gravity and is a unique local higher-spin gravity in four dimensions. Its existence implies that there are two closed subsectors in Chern-Simons matter theories. We make first steps in identifying these (anti-)chiral subsectors directly on the CFT side, which should result in a holographically dual pair where both sides are nontrivial, complete, yet exactly soluble. We also discuss closely related theories: self-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) and self-dual gravity (SDGR) in the holographic context.

Fixed minor typos and clarified some notation
