Generalized Chern–Simons higher-spin gravity theories in three dimensions

The coupling of spin-3 gauge fields to three-dimensional Maxwell and AdS-Lorentz gravity theories is presented. After showing how the usual spin-3 extensions of the AdS and the Poincaré algebras in three dimensions can be obtained as expansions of sl(3,R) algebra, the procedure is generalized so as...
