"Self-dual" solutions of topologically massive gravity coupled with the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory
We give a general class of exact solutions to the (1+2)-dimensional
topologically massive gravity model coupled with Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory
where a "self-duality" condition is imposed on the Maxwell field.Comment: 6 pages REVTEX file, no figures. To appear in Phys. Lett.
Large scale-small scale duality and cosmological constant
We study a model of quantum cosmology originating from a classical model of
gravitation where a self interacting scalar field is coupled to gravity with
the metric undergoing a signature transition. We show that there are dual
classical signature changing solutions, one at large scales and the other at
small scales. It is possible to fine-tune the physics in both scales with an
infinitesimal effective cosmological constant.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, To appear in Phys. Lett.
Spinor couplings to dilaton gravity induced by the dimensional reduction of topologically massive gravity
A Dirac spinor is coupled to topologically massive gravity and the D=3
dimensional action is reduced to D=2 dimensions with a metric that includes
both the electromagnetic potential 1-form A and a dilaton scalar \phi. The
dimensionnaly reduced spinor is made a mass eigenstate with a (local) chiral
rotation. The non-trivial interactions thus induced are discussed.Comment: 8 pages, no figure
The Quadratic Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity in Two-Dimensions
A 2D symmetric teleparallel gravity model is given by a generic 4-parameter
action that is quadratic in the non-metricity tensor. Variational field
equations are derived. A class of conformally flat solutions is given. We also
discuss static and cosmological solutions
Axi-Dilaton Gravity in D \geq 4 Dimensional Space-Times with Torsion
We study models of axi-dilaton gravity in space-time geometries with torsion.
We discuss conformal re-scaling rules in both Riemannian and non-Riemannian
formulations. We give static, spherically symmetric solutions and examine their
singularity structure
Impulsive gravitational waves in general massive 3D gravity
Impulsive, non-diverging, Petrov-Segre type N gravitational wave solutions to
a general massive three-dimensional gravity in the de Sitter, anti-de Sitter
and flat Minkowski backgrounds are constructed in a unified manner by using the
exterior algebra of differential forms.Comment: Published versio
