Abstract

We use the Chern-Simons formulation of higher spin theories in three
dimensions to study aspects of holographic W-gravity. Concepts which were
useful in studies of pure bulk gravity theories, such as the Fefferman-Graham
gauge and the residual gauge transformations, which induce Weyl transformations
in the boundary theory and their higher spin generalizations, are reformulated
in the Chern-Simons language. Flat connections that correspond to conformal and
lightcone gauges in the boundary theory are considered.
