Abstract:

We show that

p

-forms on

AdS_{2p+1}

describe both singletons and massless particles. On the

2p

-dimensional boundary the singleton

p

-form Lagrangian reduces to the conformally invariant functional

\int F^2

. All the representations, singletons as well as massless, are zero center modules and involve a vacuum mode. Two- and three-form singleton fields are required by supersymmetry in AdS

_5

and AdS

_7

supergravity respectively.

space-time: de Sitter
coset space: SO(N,2)/SO(N,1)
differential forms
gauge field theory: tensor
supersymmetry
supergravity
group theory: representation
singleton
particle: massless
