We discuss fermionic higher spin gauge symmetry breaking in AdS space from aholographic perspective. Analogously to the recently discussed bosonic case,the higher spin Goldstino mode responsible for the symmetry breaking has anon-vanishing mass in the limit in which the gauge symmetry is restored. Thisresult is precisely in agreement with the AdS/CFT correspondence, which impliesthat N=4 SYM at vanishing coupling constant is dual to a theory in AdS whichexhibits higher spin gauge symmetry enhancement. When the SYM coupling isnon-zero, the current conservation condition becomes anomalous, andcorrespondingly the local higher spin symmetry in the bulk gets spontaneouslybroken. We also show that the mass of the Goldstino mode is exactly the onepredicted by the correspondence. Finally, we obtain the form of a class offermionic higher spin currents in the SYM side.Comment: 13 pages, LaTeX using JHEP3 class and youngtab.sty. References adde
