(2+1)-dimensional interacting model of two massless spin-2 fields as a bi-gravity model

We propose a new group-theoretical (Chern-Simons) formulation for the bi-metric theory of gravity in (2+1)-dimensional spacetime which describe two interacting massless spin-2 fields. Our model has been formulated in terms of two dreibeins rather than two metrics. We obtain our Chern-Simons gravity model by gauging {\it mixed AdS-AdS Lie algebra} and show that it has a two dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) at the boundary of the anti de Sitter (AdS) solution. We show that the central charge of the dual CFT is proportional to the mass of the AdS solution. We also study cosmological implications of our massless bi-gravity model.Comment: 8 page

(1+1)-dimensional gauge symmetric gravity model and related exact black hole and cosmological solutions in string theory

We introduce a four-dimensional extension of the Poincar\'{e} algebra $(\mathcal{N})$ in (1+1)-dimensional space-time and obtain a (1+1)-dimensional gauge symmetric gravity model using the algebra $\mathcal{N}$. We show that the obtained gravity model is dual (canonically transformed) to the (1+1)-dimensional anti de Sitter ($AdS$) gravity. We also obtain some black hole and Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) solutions by solving its classical equations of motion. Then, we study $\frac{\mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{4,8}}}{\mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{1}}\otimes \mathbf{A}_{\mathbf{1}}}$ gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model and obtain some exact black hole and cosmological solutions in string theory. We show that some obtained black hole and cosmological metrics in string theory are same as the metrics obtained in solutions of our gauge symmetric gravity model.Comment: 15 pages.

Exact three dimensional black hole with gauge fields in string theory

We have obtained exact three dimensional BTZ type solutions with gauge fields, for string theory on a gauge symmetric gravitational background constructed from semi-simple extension of the Poincare algebra (and the Maxwell algebra) in 2 + 1 dimensions. We have studied the models for two non-Abelian and Abelian gauge fields solutions and shown that the related sigma models for each of these backgrounds is a SL(2;R) WZW (Wess-Zumino-Witten) model and that they are classically canonically equivalent. We have also obtained the dual solution for the Abelian case and by interpreting the new field strength tensors of the Abelian solution as electromagnetic field strength tensors shown that dual models coincide with the charged black string solution.Comment: 11 pages.

Diffeomorphism algebra of two dimensional free massless scalar field with signature change

We study a model of free massless scalar fields on a two dimensional cylinder with metric that admits a change of signature between Lorentzian and Euclidean type (ET), across the two timelike hypersurfaces (with respect to Lorentzian region). Considering a long strip-shaped region of the cylinder, denoted by an angle \theta, as the signature changed region it is shown that the energy spectrum depends on the angle \theta and in a sense differs from ordinary one for low energies. Morever diffeomorphism algebra of corresponding infinite conserved charges is different from '' Virasoro'' algebra and approaches to it at higher energies. The central term is also modified but does not approach to the ordinary one at higher energies.Comment: 18 pages, Latex, 2 ps figure
