R-currents and trace anomalies in the (2,0) tensor multiplet in d=6 and AdS/CFT correspondence

We discuss the two- and three-point functions of the SO(5) R-current of the (2,0) tensor multiplet in d=6, using AdS/CFT correspondence as well as a free field realization. The results obtained via AdS/CFT correspondence coincide with the ones from a free field calculation up to an overall 4N3 factor. This is the same factor found recently in studies of the two- and three-point functions of the energy momentum tensor in the (2,0) theory. We connect our results to the trace anomaly in d=6 in the presence of external vector fields and briefly discuss their implications.
