Abstract

In this work we analyze the asymptotic symmetries of the three-dimensional Chern-Simons (CS) gravity theory for a higher spin extension of the so-called Maxwell algebra. We propose a generalized set of asymptotic boundary conditions for the aforementioned flat gravity theory and we show that the corresponding charge algebra defines a higher-spin extension of the max\mathfrak{max}-bms3\mathfrak{bms}_{3} algebra, which in turn corresponds the asymptotic symmetries of the Maxwell CS gravity. We also show that the hs3max\mathfrak{hs}_3\mathfrak{max}-bms3\mathfrak{bms}_{3} algebra can alternatively be obtained as a vanishing cosmological constant limit of three copies of the W3\mathcal{W}_3 algebra, with three independent central charges.
