Abstract

We reconsider black hole solutions of D = 3 higher-spin gravity in the \$hsłambdahsłambda\$ Chern-Simons formulation. A suitable generalisation of the BTZ black hole has a spin-3 chemical potential \$\alpha\$, and non-zero values of all the conserved charges associated with the asymptotic \$W\_ınftyłambda\$ symmetry. We extend the available perturbative expansion of the partition function to order \$O(\alpha^18)\$ for generic values of the \$łambda\$ parameter. The result matches the CFT prediction at \$łambda=0\$ and at \$łambda=1\$ where we provide the exact all-order expansion of the partition function. The perturbative series is then analysed in the interesting non-trivial limit \$łambda\toınfty\$ and we derive the exact analytical expressions of the partition function and the spin-4 charge in closed form as functions of \$\alpha\$. Also, the first subleading correction at large \$łambda\$ is shown to be simply related to the leading contribution.
