Canonical Analysis and Stability of Lanczos-Lovelock Gravity
We perform a space-time analysis of the D > 4 quadratic curvature Lanczos-Lovelock (LL) model, exhibiting its dependence on intrinsic/extrinsic curvatures, lapse and shifts. As expected from general covariance, the field equations include D constraints, of zeroth and first time derivative order. In the “linearized” – here necessarily cubic – limit, we give an explicit formulation in terms of th...
متن کاملIntersecting hypersurfaces and Lovelock Gravity
A theory of gravity in higher dimensions is considered. The usual Einstein-Hilbert action is supplemented with Lovelock terms, of higher order in the curvature tensor. These terms are important for the low energy action of string theories. The intersection of hypersurfaces is studied in the Lovelock theory. The study is restricted to hypersurfaces of co-dimension 1, (d− 1)-dimensional submanifo...
متن کاملTwo Aspects of Black hole entropy in Lanczos-Lovelock models of gravity
We consider two specific approaches to evaluate the black hole entropy which are known to produce correct results in the case of Einstein’s theory and generalize them to LanczosLovelock models. In the first approach (which could be called extrinsic) we use a procedure motivated by earlier work by Pretorius, Vollick and Israel, and by Oppenheim, and evaluate the entropy of a configuration of den...
متن کاملEntropy increase during physical processes for black holes in Lanczos-Lovelock gravity
We study quasistationary physical process for black holes within the context of Lanczos-Lovelock gravity. We show that the Wald entropy of the stationary black holes in Lanczos-Lovelock gravity monotonically increases for quasistationary physical processes in which the horizon is perturbed by the accretion of positive energy matter and the black hole ultimately settles down to a stationary stat...
متن کاملThe Clifford Space Geometry of Conformal Gravity and U(4)× U(4) Yang-Mills Unification
It is shown how a Conformal Gravity and U(4)×U(4) Yang-Mills Grand Unification model in four dimensions can be attained from a Clifford Gauge Field Theory in C-spaces (Clifford spaces) based on the (complex) Clifford Cl(4, C) algebra underlying a complexified four dimensional spacetime (8 real dimensions). Upon taking a real slice, and after symmetry breaking, it leads to ordinary Gravity and t...
