We review recent progress in the construction of black holes in three dimensional higher spin gravity theories. Starting from spin-3 gravity and working our way toward the theory of an infinite tower of higher spins coupled to matter, we show how to harness higher spin gauge invariance to consistently generalize familiar notions of black holes. We review the construction of black holes with conserved higher spin charges and the computation of their partition functions to leading asymptotic order. In view of the AdS/CFT correspondence as applied to certain vector-like conformal field theories with extended conformal symmetry, we successfully compare to CFT calculations in a generalized Cardy regime. A brief recollection of pertinent aspects of ordinary gravity is also given.

  1. Minimal Massive Gravity Coupled to Higher Spins

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Notes on su$(1,2)\oplus$u$(1)$ Chern-Simons theory and Torsional Newton-Cartan gravity

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The su(1,2)⊕u(1) Chern-Simons theory is torsional Newton-Cartan gravity whose 1/c expansion reproduces the extended z=2 Schrödinger gravity and whose asymptotic symmetry is the W_3^(2)⊕u(1) algebra.

  3. Generalized Schwarzian Dynamics from a Bulk-First BF Perspective

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.5 of 10

    The sl(3,R) BF reduction is re-expressed through Wilczynski invariants, yielding a generalized Schwarzian action and a heuristic thermodynamic dictionary to Casimir and monodromy data.

  4. Lecture notes on strings in AdS$_3$ from the worldsheet and the AdS$_3$/CFT$_2$ duality

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Lecture notes deliver a self-contained pedagogical overview of worldsheet strings in AdS3 with NSNS flux, summarizing 25 years of results with emphasis on spectrally flowed correlation functions.
