Higher spin gravity in three dimensions has explicit black holes solutions, carrying higher spin charge. We compute the free energy of a charged black hole from the holographic dual, a 2d CFT with extended conformal symmetry, and find exact agreement with the bulk thermodynamics. In the CFT, higher spin corrections to the free energy can be calculated at high temperature from correlation functions of W-algebra currents.

  1. Modular Properties of Symplectic Fermion Generalised Gibbs Ensemble

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Exact modular S-transforms are derived for GGEs in the symplectic fermion theory, agreeing with conjectures for the W3 zero mode and mirroring free-fermion results for the KdV subset.
