Higher spin theory in 3-dimensional flat space
Hamid Afshar, Arjun Bagchi, Reza Fareghbal +2
We present the first example of a non-trivial higher spin theory in 3-dimensional flat space. We propose flat-space boundary conditions and prove their consistency for this theory.…

Cosmic evolution from phase transition of 3-dimensional flat space
Arjun Bagchi, Stephane Detournay, Daniel Grumiller +1
Flat space cosmology spacetimes are exact time-dependent solutions of 3-dimensional gravity theories, such as Einstein gravity or topologically massive gravity. We exhibit a novel…

Tensionless Strings and Galilean Conformal Algebra
Arjun Bagchi
We find an intriguing link between the symmetries of the tensionless limit of closed string theory and the 2-dimensional Galilean Conformal Algebra (2d GCA). 2d GCA has been discus…
