On Higher Derivatives in 3D Gravity and Higher Spin Gauge Theories
read the original abstract
The general second-order massive field equations for arbitrary positive integer spin in three spacetime dimensions, and their "self-dual" limit to first-order equations, are shown to be equivalent to gauge-invariant higher-derivative field equations. We recover most known equivalences for spins 1 and 2, and find some new ones. In particular, we find a non-unitary massive 3D gravity theory with a 5th order term obtained by contraction of the Ricci and Cotton tensors; this term is part of an N=2 super-invariant that includes the "extended Chern-Simons" term of 3D electrodynamics. We also find a new unitary 6th order gauge theory for "self-dual" spin 3.

Gauge-invariant off-shell formulations for 3D massive higher-spin supermultiplets
Gauge-invariant off-shell actions for 3D massive higher-spin N=2 supermultiplets with central charge are constructed via Kaluza-Klein reduction from 4D massless N=1 supermultiplets, including new massive versions of o...

Minimal Massive Gravity Coupled to Higher Spins
Minimal Massive Gravity is coupled to a finite sl(N) tower of higher-spin fields, giving a Stückelberg formulation, AdS2 x S1 hair solutions, and two massive modes (spin j and j-2) for each spin-j > 2 field.
