On the spectrum of pure higher spin gravity

Abstract We study the spectrum of pure massless higher spin theories in AdS 3. The light spectrum is given by a tower of massless particles of spin s = 2, ⋯ , N and their multi-particles states. Their contribution to the torus partition function organises into the vacuum character of the W N $$ {\ma...
