Abstract
Demanding the existence of a simple holographic ctheorem it is shown that a general parity preserving theory of gravity in 2+1 dimensions involving upto four derivative curvature invariants reduces to the new massive gravity theory We consider extending the theory including upto six derivative curvature invariants Black hole solutions are presented and consistency with 1+1 CFTs is checked We present evidence that bulk unitarity is still in conflict with a positive CFT central charge for generic choice of parameters
