(Super-)Gravities of a different sort
We review the often forgotten fact that gravitation theories invariant under local de Sitter, anti-de Sitter or Poincaré transformations can be constructed in all odd dimensions. These theories belong to the Chern–Simons family and are particular cases of the so-called Lovelock gravities, constructed as the dimensional continuations of the lower dimensional Euler classes. The supersymmetric ext...
متن کاملSuper Scalar Sample Sort
Sample sort, a generalization of quicksort that partitions the input into many pieces, is known as the best practical comparison based sorting algorithm for distributed memory parallel computers. We show that sample sort is also useful on a single processor. The main algorithmic insight is that element comparisons can be decoupled from expensive conditional branching using predicated instructio...
متن کاملSuper ) - Gravities Beyond 4 Dimensions ∗ Jorge
These lectures are intended as a broad introduction to Chern Simons gravity and supergravity. The motivation for these theories lies in the desire to have a gauge invariant action –in the sense of fiber bundles– in more than three dimensions, which could provide a firm ground for constructing a quantum theory of the gravitational field. The case of ChernSimons gravity and its supersymmetric ext...
متن کاملLecture Notes on Chern-simons (super-)gravities
This is intended to be a broad introduction to Chern-Simons gravity and supergravity. The motivation for these theories lies in the desire to have a gauge invariant system –with a fiber bundle formulation– in more than three dimensions, which could provide a firm ground for constructing a quantum theory of the gravitational field. The starting point is a gravitational action which generalizes t...
متن کاملConformal (super)gravities with several gravitons
We construct consistent interacting gauge theories for M conformal massless spin-2 fields (“Weyl gravitons”) with the following properties: (i) in the free limit, each field fulfills the equation Bμν = 0, where Bμν is the linearized Bach tensor, (ii) the interactions contain no more than four derivatives, just as the free action and (iii) the internal metric for the Weyl gravitons is not positi...
