Abstract

By using the known operator product expansions (OPEs) between the lowest 16 higher spin currents of spins (1,32,32,32,32,2,2,2,2,2,2,52,52,52,52,3) in an extension of the large N= 4 linear superconformal algebra, one determines the OPEs between the lowest 16 higher spin currents in an extension of the large N= 4 nonlinear superconformal algebra for generic N and k. The Wolf space coset contains the group G= SU (N+ 2) and the affine Kac–Moody spin 1 current has the level k. The next 16 higher spin currents of spins (2,52,52,52,52,3,3,3,3,3,3,72,72,72,72,4) arise in the above OPEs. The most general lowest higher spin 2 current in this multiplet can be determined in terms of affine Kac–Moody spin 12,1 currents. By careful analysis of the zero mode (higher spin) eigenvalue equations, the three-point functions of bosonic higher spin 2, 3, 4 currents with two scalars are obtained for finite N and k. Furthermore, we also analyze the three-point functions of bosonic higher spin 2, 3, 4 currents in the extension of the large N= 4 linear superconformal algebra. It turns out that the three-point functions of higher spin 2, 3 currents in the two cases are equal to each other at finite N and k. Under the large (N, k) ’t Hooft limit, the two descriptions for the three-point functions of higher spin 4 current coincide with each other. The higher spin extension of SO(4) Knizhnik Bershadsky algebra is described.
