Planar solutions of higher-spin theory I: free field level

Abstract

Many black hole solutions of General Relativity are known to be linearly exact. This opens a way to study them in gauge theories that apart from gravity contain fields of higher spin $s>2$. Starting with a black brane in $AdS_4$ we find its free field higher-spin generalization that respects static and planar symmetry for all bosonic gauge fields $s\geq 0$. The solution is found for both the higher-spin curvatures and potentials in the form suitable for further non-linear analysis and satisfies the multi copy relation.
