The action for higher spin black holes in three dimensions    [PDF]

M Banados, R. Canto, S. Theisen

In the context of (2+1)--dimensional Chern-Simons SL(3,R)\times SL(3,R) gauge fields and spin 3 black holes we compute the on-shell action and show that it generates the correct thermodynamics. In particular, the Chern-Simons action solves the integrability conditions recently considered in the literature.
