The Propagator of a Massive Field of Spin s = 2 in the Anti-de Sitter Space

We construct the propagator of the massive tensor field of the second rank on the Euclidean continuation of the anti-de Sitter (AdS) space. We find the explicit expression for the propagator in the limit where the field takes values at the boundary of the AdS space. We show that the limiting expression yields the correct Green's function and two-point correlation function of the boundary conformal field theory, as predicted by the AdS/CFT correspondence hypothesis. We thus obtain one more piece of evidence in favor of the interpretation of operators of the boundary conformal field theory as certain limits of quantum fields propagating in the AdS space.
