Abstract

We present an interacting spin-2 gauge theory coupled to the two-dimensional dilaton-gravity in flat spacetime. The asymptotic symmetry group is enhanced to the central extension of Diff(S1)C(S1)(S^1)\ltimes C^\infty(S^1)\ltimesVec(S1S^1) when the central element of the Heisenberg subgroup is zero (vanishing U(1)U(1) level). Using the BF-formulation of the model we derive the corresponding boundary coadjoint action which is the spin-2 extension of the warped Schwarzian theory at vanishing U(1)U(1) level. We also discuss the thermodynamics of black holes in this model.
