Super-BMS algebras from flat supergravities
Ivano Lodato, Wout Merbis
We consider two possible flat space limits of three dimensional AdS supergravity. They differ by how the supercharges are scaled with the AdS radius : t…

Chern-Simons-like Theories of Gravity
Wout Merbis
In this PhD thesis, we investigate a wide class of three-dimensional massive gravity models and show how most of them (if not all) can be brought in a first-order, Chern-Simons-lik…

Three-Dimensional Tricritical Gravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Sjoerd de Haan, Wout Merbis +2
We consider a class of parity even, six-derivative gravity theories in three dimensions. After linearizing around anti-de Sitter space, the theories have one massless and two massi…
