Abstract

We construct the lowest higher spin-2 current in terms of the spin-1 and the spin-1/2 currents living in the orthogonal SO(N+4) SO(N)×SO(4) Wolf space coset theory for general N. The remaining 15 higher spin currents are determined. We obtain the three-point functions of bosonic (higher) spin currents with two scalars for finite N and k (the level of the spin-1 current). By multiplying SU(2) × U(1) into the above Wolf space coset theory, the other 15 higher spin currents together with the above lowest higher spin-2 current are realized in the extension of the large = 4 linear superconformal algebra. Similarly, the three-point functions of bosonic (higher) spin currents with two scalars for finite N and k are obtained. Under the large N 't Hooft limit, the two types of three-point functions in the nonlinear and linear versions coincide as in the unitary coset theory found previously.
