Abstract: We review recent progress in the construction of black holes in three dimensional higher spin gravity theories. Starting from spin-3 gravity and working our way toward the theory of an infinite tower of higher spins coupled to matter, we show how to harness higher spin gauge invariance to consistently generalize familiar notions of black holes. We review the construction of black holes with conserved higher spin charges and the computation of their partition functions to leading asymptotic order. In view of the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory (CFT) correspondence as applied to certain vector-like conformal field theories with extended conformal symmetry, we successfully compare to CFT calculations in a generalized Cardy regime. A brief recollection of pertinent aspects of ordinary gravity is also given.This article is part of a special issue of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical devoted to ‘Higher spin theories and holography’.

The perturbation theory of higher dimensional spacetimes a la Teukolsky
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a decoupled equation in terms of Weyl tensor components for gravitational perturbations of the Schwarzschild-Tangherlini solution and used this to construct the asymptotic behaviour of metric perturbation of the near-horizon geometry of the 5d cohomogeneity-1 Myers-Perry black hole.

Clemens Sämann,Roland Steinbauer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a class of impulsive gravitational wave space-times, which generalize impulsive pp-waves, were considered and a completeness result for such space times with complete Riemannian part was given.

A new spin on entanglement entropy
Eliot Hijano,Per Kraus +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the usual notions of thermodynamic and entanglement entropy have novel analogs in the context of higher spin theories, and that the first law for entropy implies the linearized field equations for the metric and higher spin fields.

The Large N limit of superconformal field theories and supergravity
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the large-N limits of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravityon the product of anti-de Sitter spacetimes, spheres, and other compact manifolds.

Anti De Sitter Space And Holography
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Kaluza-Klein modes of Type IIB supergravity on $AdS_5\times {\bf S}^5$ match with the chiral operators of the super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions.
The Large N Limit of Superconformal Field Theories and Supergravity
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the super-conformal field theory on the brane decouples from the bulk of the field theory in a low energy limit.

Particle Creation by Black Holes
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that quantum mechanical effects cause black holes to create and emit particles as if they were hot bodies with temperature, which leads to a slow decrease in the mass of the black hole and to its eventual disappearance.
Gauge Theory Correlators from Non-Critical String Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a boundary of the anti-deSitter space analogous to a cut-off on the Liouville coordinate of the two-dimensional string theory is introduced to obtain certain Green's functions in 3+1-dimensional N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a large number of colors via non-critical string theory.
