Abstract

In this paper, we show that a possible version of the swampland weak gravity conjecture for higher spin (HS) massive topological AdS3_{3} gravity can be expressed in terms of mass MhsM_{hs}, charge QhsQ_{hs} and coupling constant ghsg_{hs} of 3D gravity coupled to higher spin fields as Mhs2M_{hs} \leq \sqrt{2} QhsQ_{hs} ghsg_{hs} MPlM_{Pl}. The higher spin charge is given by the SO(1,2)SO(1,2) quadratic Casimir Qhs2=s(s1)Q_{hs}^{2}=s\left (s-1\right) and the HS coupling constant by ghs2=2/(MPl2lAdS32){\large g}_{hs} ^{2}=2/\left (M_{Pl}^{2} l_{AdS_{3}}^{2}\right ) while the mass expressed like (lAdS3Mhs)2\left( l_{AdS_{3}} \text{M}_{hs}\right) ^{2} is defined as (1+μlAdS3)2s(s1)+[1(μlAdS3)2(s1)] \left (1+\mu l_{AdS_{3}} \right ) ^{2} s \left ( s-1 \right ) +[1- \left ( \mu l_{AdS_{3}} \right ) ^{2} \left ( s-1 \right ) ].
