Abstract: The Minimal Model Holography, relating 3d higher spin gravity on AdS to 2d W_N minimal models will be reviewed in this talk. In particular, explicit black hole solutions carrying higher spin charges are constructed with proper thermodynamics. We compute the free energy of a charged black hole from the holographic dual at large central charge, and find exact match with the bulk thermodynamics. Furthermore, scalar fields propagating on the higher spin black hole backgrounds are studied. Explicitly, the higher spin corrections to the scalar two-point functions are computed from both the AdS side and the CFT side. Again, a perfect match is found, which gives further support to the minimal model holography.
