Abstract

In this paper we generalize Vasiliev's higher-spin gravity theory in 3d into N=(0,2)\mathcal{N} = (0, 2) case, by which we mean that the asymptotic symmetry of such a gravity theory have the structure of 2d N=(0,2)\mathcal{N} = (0, 2) superconformal algebra. While the construction is limited to linearized level, asymptotic symmetry and possible matter content of such theories is discussed. Also, the 1-loop partition function of this theory around thermal Euclidean AdS space-time, with different matter fields, is calculated by heat-kernel method.
