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…

Unitary Truncations and Critical Gravity: a Toy Model
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Sjoerd de Haan, Wout Merbis +2
We investigate a higher-derivative scalar field model in a fixed d+1 dimensional AdS background as a toy model for a gravitational dual to a higher-rank logarithmic CFT. The hologr…
