Abstract

We consider the proposal that predicts holographic duality between certain 2D minimal models at large central charge and Vasiliev 3D higher spin gravity with a single complex field. We compute the scalar correlator in the background of a higher spin black hole at order O(α5)\mathcal O(\alpha^{5}) in the chemical potential α\alpha associated with the spin-3 charge. The calculation is performed at generic values of the symmetry algebra \mboxhs[λ]\mbox{hs}[\lambda] parameter λ\lambda and for the scalar in three different representations. We then study the perturbative data in the large λ\lambda limit and discover remarkable regularities. This leads to formulate a closed formula for the resummation of the leading and subleading terms that scale like O(αnλ2n)\mathcal O(\alpha^{n}\lambda^{2n}) and O(αnλ2n1)\mathcal O(\alpha^{n}\,\lambda^{2n-1}) respectively.
