Description

Overview of recent progress on non-perturbative aspects of higher spin theories in three dimensions with emphasis on black holes.
The two main results that will be discussed are:
1) novel properties of extremal and susy solutions, and
2) Lorentzian features of eternal higher spin black holes.
