Abstract: (arXiv)

We analyze asymptotic symmetry algebras in (2+1)-dimensional non-AdS higher-spin gravity with a focus on AdS

_2\times\mathbb{R}

and

\mathbb{H}_2\times\mathbb{R}

. We find a consistent set of boundary conditions for spin-3 gravity in the non-principal embedding and calculate the corresponding asymptotic symmetry algebra in the classical and quantum mechanical case. In addition, we check for unitary representations of the resulting quantum

\mathcal{W}_3^{(2)}

algebra and give an interpretation of the corresponding CFT.
