  1. Motivations In this talk: Vector models exhibit global and discrete symmetry breaking. The bosonic model O ( N ) ! O ( N � 1) . The fermionic model parity breaking. If there is holography without strings and branes, what is the bulk counterpart of the global O ( N ) boundary symmetry and its breaking pattern? 1. Emphasise the role of singletons for vector model holography: Using a bulk singleton deformation I will reproduce the boundary gap equation that describes the O ( N ) ! O ( N � 1) breaking. Using a further boundary deformation I will reproduce the known O (1 /N ) anomalous dimension of the elementary scalars in the boundary. The latter result raises the issue whether O ( N ) symmetry breaking is related to higher-spin symmetry breaking. I will discuss the singleton deformation in the fermionic model. A. C.

  71. O ( N ) /HS holography At the critical point α is redundant and the boundary term becomes 1 Z σφ 2 . f d ( σ , φ 2 ) = p N This is a simple marginal deformation of the extended higher-spin action and leads to a 1 /N expansion for the boundary two-point functions of φ and σ . For example, we obtain h φ ( x 1 ) φ ( x 2 ) i def = h φ ( x 1 ) φ ( x 2 ) i 0 + 1 Z h φ ( x 1 ) φ ( x 2 ) σ ( x ) φ 2 ( x ) σ ( y ) φ 2 ( y ) i 0 + · · · 2 N p where we have dropped the O (1 / N ) term whose contribution vanishes, as do all other fractional powers of 1 /N . The above is the same expansion as in the field theory analysis for φ , at least to leading order in 1 /N , and hence it gives the same anomalous dimension. A. C.
