A bstractA consistent set of asymptotic conditions for higher spin gravity in three dimensions is proposed in the case of vanishing cosmological constant. The asymptotic symmetries are found to be spanned by a higher spin extension of the BMS3 algebra with an appropriate central extension. It is also shown that our results can be recovered from the ones recently found for asymptotically AdS3 spacetimes by virtue of a suitable gauge choice that allows to perform the vanishing cosmological constant limit.

Light-front higher-spin theories in flat space (2016, background): “Massless higher-spin fields do not have local degrees of freedom in threedimensions [57–60] and therefore the no-go theorems discussed above do not apply, see [61, 62] and references thereon for more detail.”
