Spinning Witten Diagrams

Abstract

We develop a systematic framework to compute the conformal partial wave expansions (CPWEs) of tree-level four-point Witten diagrams with totally symmetric external fields of arbitrary mass and integer spin in AdS\$\_d+1\$. Employing this framework, we determine the CPWE of a generic exchange Witten diagram with spinning exchanged field. As an intermediate step, we diagonalise the linear map between spinning three-point conformal structures and spinning cubic couplings in AdS. As a concrete application, we compute all exchange diagrams in the type A higher-spin gauge theory on AdS\$\_d+1\$, which is conjectured to be dual to the free scalar \$Ołeft(N\right)\$ model. Given a CFT\$\_d\$, our results provide the complete holographic reconstruction of all cubic couplings involving totally symmetric fields in the putative dual theory on AdS\$\_d+1\$.
