We study the resolution of certain cosmological singularity in the context of higher-spin three-dimensional gravity. We consider gravity coupled to a spin-3 field realized as Chern-Simons theory with gauge group $SL(3,\mathbb{C})$. In this…
We consider recently-constructed solutions of three dimensional SL(N,R) x SL(N,R) Chern-Simons theories with non-relativistic symmetries. Solutions of the Chern-Simons theories can generically be mapped to solutions of a gravitational…
Building upon the Jones-Wassermann program of studying Conformal Field Theory using operator algebraic tools, and the work of A. Wassermann on the loop group of LSU(n) (Invent. Math. 133 (1998), 467-538), we give a solution to the problem…
We show that the planar Chern-Simons (CS) theory on S^3 can be described by its dimensionally reduced model. This description of CS theory can be regarded as a novel large-N reduction for gauge theories on S^3. We find that if one expands…

In this paper we present the generalization of Chern-Simons-like theories of gravity (CSLTG) to spin-3. We propose a Lagrangian describing the spin-3 fields coupled to Chern-Simons-like theories of gravity. Then we obtain conserved charges…

We compute the superconformal index of 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal theories obtained from $N$ M5-branes wrapped on a hyperbolic 3-manifold. Exploiting the 3d-3d correspondence, we use perturbative invariants of $SL(N,\mathbb{C})$…
