Spin-3 gravity in three-dimensional flat space

H Afshar, A Bagchi, R Fareghbal, D Grumiller… - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
We present the first example of a nontrivial higher spin theory in three-dimensional flat
space. We propose flat-space boundary conditions and prove their consistency for this …

String universality for permutation orbifolds

A Belin, CA Keller, A Maloney - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
The hypothesis that every theory of quantum gravity in AdS 3 is a dimensional reduction of
string or M theory leads to a natural conjecture for the density of states of two-dimensional …

Permutation orbifolds and holography

FM Haehl, M Rangamani - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract Two dimensional conformal field theories with large central charge and a sparse
low-lying spectrum are expected to admit a classical string holographic dual. We construct a …
