Higher-Spin Gravity in Two Dimensions with Vanishing Cosmological Constant
Xavier Bekaert, Michel Pannier
In this paper, we use a version of the BF formulation of two-dimensional dilaton gravity that allows to define a gauge theory of the two-dimensional Poincaré or Maxwell algebras an…
The Wilson Spool in Locally Flat Spacetimes
Michel Pannier
This paper proposes a definition of what has previously been coined a Wilson Spool in the case of three-dimensional gravity with vanishing cosmological constant. The definition bui…
Unfolded Fierz-Pauli Equations in Three-Dimensional Asymptotically Flat Spacetimes
Martin Ammon, Michel Pannier
We utilise a quotient of the universal enveloping algebra of the Poincaré algebra in three spacetime dimensions, on which we formulate a covariant constancy condition. The equation…
Semi-classical BMS-blocks from the Oscillator Construction
Martin Ammon, Seán Gray, Claire Moran +2
Flat-space holography requires a thorough understanding of BMS symmetry. We introduce an oscillator construction of the highest-weight representation of the alge…
Scalar Fields in 3D Asymptotically Flat Higher-Spin Gravity
Martin Ammon, Michel Pannier, Max Riegler
In this work we construct a novel associative algebra and use it to define a theory of higher-spin gravity in (2+1)-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes. Our construction is…
