Singleton field explained

A singleton field theory is a quantum field theory that treats massless particles in anti-de Sitter spacetime as pairs of "singletons".^[1] Originally introduced by Moshé Flato and Christian Frønsdal,^[2] they are based on Paul Dirac's work on the representation theory of the group SO(3,2).^{[3] [4]}
