From Coxeter Higher-Spin Theories to Strings and Tensor Models
A new class of higher-spin gauge theories associated with various Coxeter groups is proposed. The emphasize is on the Bp--models. The multi-particle B2--higher-spin theory is conjectured to be associated with String Theory. Bp--higher-spin models with p>2 are anticipated to be dual to the rank-p boundary tensor sigma-models. Bp higher-spin models with p≥2 possess two coupling constants responsible for higher-spin interactions in AdS background and stringy/tensor effects, respectively. Consistency of the holographic interpretation of the boundary matrix-like model in the B2-HS model is shown to demand N≥4 SUSY, suggesting duality with the N=4 SYM upon spontaneous breaking of HS symmetries.
