abstract

We use a recently proposed covariant procedure to reduce the Chern-Simons action of three-dimensional higher-spin gravity to the boundary, resulting in a Lorentz covariant action for higher-order chiral scalars. After gauge-fixing, we obtain a higher-derivative action generalizing the $s=1$ Floreanini-Jackiw and $s=2$ Alekseev-Shatashvili actions to arbitrary spin $s$. For simplicity, we treat the case of general spin at the linearized level, while the full non-linear asymptotic boundary conditions are presented in component form for the $SL(3,\mathbb R)$ case. Finally, we extend the spin-3 linearized analysis to a background with non-trivial higher-spin charge and show that it has a richer structure of zero modes.

    Massive discrete-series scalars in dS2 admit an on-shell global conformal symmetry realized non-locally on the scalar and locally on a conformal Killing tensor, with a traceless stress tensor generating SL(2,R)×SL(2,R).

    In the self-dual higher-spin theory, a scalar vacuum that breaks AdS symmetry to 3D Poincaré makes all higher-spin gauge fields decouple except spin one, and makes higher-spin currents non-conserved except the spin-on...
