Abstract: New holographic prescription for the model of 3d higher-spin gravity coupled to real matter fields Bmuu and C, which was introduced in ArXiv:1304.7941[hep-th], is formulated. By using a local symmetry, two of the components of Bmuu are eliminated, and gauge-fixing conditions are imposed such that the non-vanishing component, Bphiho, satisfies a covariantly-constancy condition in the background of Chern-Simons gauge fields Amu, . In this model, solutions to the classical equations of motion for Amu and are non-flat due to the interactions with matter fields. The solutions for the gauge fields can, however, be split into two parts, flat gauge fields calAmu, , and those terms that depend on the matter fields. The equations for the matter fields then coincide with covariantly-constancy equations in the flat backgrounds calAmu and , which are exactly the same as those in linearized 3d Vasiliev gravity. The two- and three-point correlation functions of operators in the boundary CFT are computed by using an on-shell action, exttr,(Bphiho,C). This term does not depend on coordinates due to the matter equations of motion, and it is not necessary to take the near-boundary limit hoightarrowinfty. Analysis is presented for SL(3,R) imes SL(3,R) as well as HS[frac12]imesHS[frac12] higher-spin gravity. In the latter model, scalar operators with scaling dimensions Delta+=frac32 and Delta=frac12 appear in a single quantization.
