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’.

Specific dynamics for the domain walls in Einstein?Maxwell-dilaton theory
TL;DR: In this paper, double Liouville potentials were used to enrich the Lagrangian system and investigate the resulting dynamics, showing that the local maximum in the potential suggests a maximum bounce in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe on the domain wall.
Wilson Lines and Entanglement Entropy in Higher Spin Gravity
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a proposal for the holographic computation of entanglement entropy in field theories dual to higher spin theories of gravity in AdS3, which have a Chern-Simons description, and their proposal involves a Wilson line in an infinite-dimensional representation of the bulk gauge group.
Instability of higher dimensional extreme black holes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study linearized gravitational perturbations of extreme black hole solutions of the vacuum Einstein equation in any number of dimensions and show that the equations governing such perturbation can be decoupled at the future event horizon.
Higher spin currents in Wolf space. Part I
TL;DR: In this paper, a WZW affine current algebra with constraints is obtained for the large $ \mathcal{N} $>>\s = 4 superconformal coset theory described by the Wolf space subgroup SU(N = 3) × SU(2) × U(1) currents.
Symmetric backgrounds of type IIB supergravity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study homogeneous backgrounds of type IIB supergravity where the underlying geometry is a symmetric space and determine which ten-dimensional lorentzian symmetric spaces admit such backgrounds and in about two thirds of the cases they determine fully their moduli space.

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.

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.
