Abstract

We study conical geometry with the maximal number of fermionic symmetry in the higher spin supergravity described by sl(N + 1|N) ⊕ sl(N + 1|N) Chern-Simons gauge theory. It was proposed that a three dimensional \( \mathcal{N}=2 \) higher spin supergravity is holographically dual to the \( \mathcal{N}=\left( {2,2} \right)\mathbb{C}{{\mathbb{P}}^N} \) Kazama-Suzuki model. Based one the duality, we find a map between conical geometries and primary states in the dual CFT. In particular, we construct geometric solutions corresponding to primary states in the RRsector. The proposal is checked by the comparison of a few charges and by the relation between null vectors and higher spin symmetry.
