abstract

We present the first example of a non-trivial higher spin theory in 3-dimensional flat space. We propose flat-space boundary conditions and prove their consistency for this theory. We find that the asymptotic symmetry algebra is a (centrally extended) higher spin generalization of the Bondi- Metzner-Sachs algebra, which we describe in detail. We also address higher spin analogues of flat space cosmology solutions and possible generalizations.

Asymptotically-FLRW$_3$ spacetimes

gr-qc · 2026-06-01 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Introduces asymptotically-FLRW3 spacetimes whose asymptotic symmetry group is the one-parameter family BMS3^k, fully characterizes the scalar-field solution space, identifies covariant mass/angular-momentum aspects and news via vacuum orbits, and exhibits exactly conserved non-linear Newman-Penrose

Higher-Spin Gravity in Two Dimensions with Vanishing Cosmological Constant
