On functional classes in higher-spin theory
Abstract
The factorization over the ideal in the d-dimensional Vasiliev theory requires an accurate description of the higher-spin algebra π and its twisted adjoint module πtw as certain functional spaces. It is shown that the conditions of π to be closed under action of the Moyal star product, and of πtw to be a star-product π-module along with some auxiliary conditions lead to properly defined free-level factorization procedure. The conditions on admissible functions have simple algebraic form; in the case of π the analogous functional space has been considered by Soloviev \cite{Soloviev:2013iba}. The relation of the obtained functional classes to the locality problem in the Vasiliev theory is discussed. In particular it is observed that certain non-local expressions diverge due to properties of πtw while the spin-local expressions are well-defined.
