On Higher Order Gravities, Their Analogy to GR, and Dimensional Dependent Version of Duff's Trace Anomaly Relation
Full text linkAn almost brief, though lengthy, review introduction about the long history
of higher order gravities and their applications, as employed in the
literature, is provided. We review the analogous procedure between higher order
gravities and GR, as described in our previous works, in order to highlight its
important achievements. Amongst which are presentation of an easy
classification of higher order Lagrangians and its employment as a
\emph{criteria} in order to distinguish correct metric theories of gravity. For
example, it does not permit the inclusion of only one of the second order
Lagrangians in \emph{isolation}. But, it does allow the inclusion of the
cosmological term. We also discuss on the compatibility of our procedure and
the Mach idea. We derive a dimensional dependent version of Duff's trace
anomaly relation, which in \emph{four}-dimension is the same as the usual Duff
relation. The Lanczos Lagrangian satisfies this new constraint in \emph{any}
dimension. The square of the Weyl tensor identically satisfies it independent
of dimension, however, this Lagrangian satisfies the previous relation only in
three and four dimensions.Comment: 30 pages, added reference
