The action is written in the light-cone gauge. The theory has certain stringlike features, e.g., its spectrum is unbounded in spin and mass; the theory admits Chan-Paton factors. The quartic and the higher tree-level amplitudes vanish, which softens the UV behavior at the loop level and provides a new mechanism of how massive higher spin states can resolve the quantum gravity problem.}, title = {Stringlike theory in three dimensions and massive higher spins}, volume = {102}, year = {2020} }
