Massive gravity in three dimensions.
A particular higher-derivative extension of the Einstein-Hilbert action in three spacetime dimensions is shown to be equivalent at the linearized level to the (unitary) Pauli-Fierz action for a massive spin-2 field. A more general model, which also includes "topologically-massive" gravity as a special case, propagates the two spin-2 helicity states with different masses. We discuss the extensio...
متن کاملII Gravity in Flat Extra Dimensions
The idea of using extra spatial dimensions to unify different forces started in 1914 with Nordstöm, who proposed a 5-dimensional vector theory to simultaneously describe elec-tromagnetism and a scalar version of gravity. After the invention of general relativity, in 1919 Kaluza noticed that the 5-dimensional generalization of Einstein theory can simultaneously describe gravitational and electro...
متن کاملRenormalizability of Massive Gravity in Three Dimensions
We discuss renormalizability of a recently established, massive gravity theory with particular higher derivative terms in three space-time dimensions. It is shown that this massive gravity is certainly renormalizable as well as unitary, so it gives us a physically interesting toy model of perturbative quantum gravity in three dimensions.

متن کاملWeak Gravity Conjecture with Large Extra Dimensions
In the presence of large extra dimensions, the fundamental Planck scale can be much lower than the apparent four-dimensional Planck scale. In this setup, the weak gravity conjecture implies a much more stringent constraint on the UV cutoff for the U(1) gauge theory in four dimensions. This new energy scale may be relevant to LHC. Extra dimensions are naturally required in some fundamental theor...
متن کاملGravity coupled to a scalar field in extra dimensions
In d + 1 dimensions we solve the equations of motion for the case of gravity minimally or conformally coupled to a scalar field. For the minimally coupled system the equations can either be solved directly or by transforming vacuum solutions, as shown before in 3 + 1 dimensions by Buchdahl. In d + 1 dimensions the solutions have been previously found directly by Xanthopoulos and Zannias. Here w...
