We consider the coupling of a symmetric spin-3 gauge field φμνρ to three-dimensional gravity in a second-order metric-like formulation. The action that corresponds to an SL(3,R)×SL(3,R)?> Chern–Simons theory in the frame-like formulation is identified to quadratic order in the spin-3 field. We apply our result to compute corrections to the area law for higher spin black holes using Wald’s entropy formula. This article is part of a special issue of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical devoted to ‘Higher spin theories and holography’.
