Some Solutions with Torsion in Chern-simons Grav- Ity and Observable Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown that in five dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theories exact vacuum solutions with non-vanishing torsion can be constructed. Some possible observational effects related to neutrino oscillations are pointed out. In the theory of continuum media (in which suitable defects can be described by localized non vanishing torsion) ”the gravitational intuition” is a rather useful tool to describe the physical effects of such defects. A possible astrophysical application is shortly described.

Deligne-Beilinson cohomology and abelian links invariants
For the abelian Chern-Simons field theory, we consider the quantum functional integration over the Deligne-Beilinson cohomology classes and we derive the main properties of the observables in a generic closed orientable 3-manifold. We present an explicit pathintegral non-perturbative computation of the Chern-Simons links invariants in the case of the torsion-free 3-manifolds S, S × S and S × Σg.
متن کاملSome exact solutions with torsion in 5-D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
Exact solutions with torsion in Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity are derived. These solutions have a cross product structure of two constant curvature manifolds. The equations of motion give a relation for the coupling constants of the theory in order to have solutions with nontrivial torsion. This relation is not the Chern-Simons combination. One of the solutions has a AdS2 × S3 structure and is ...
متن کاملGauge symmetries and holographic anomalies of Chern-Simons and transgression AdS gravity
We review the issue of gauge and gravitational anomalies with backgrounds, offering a new outlook on some aspects of these questions. We compute the holographic anomalies of hypothetical theories dual, in the sense of the AdS-CFT correspondence, to Chern-Simons AdS gravity. Those anomalies are either gauge anomalies, associated to the AdS gauge group of the theory, or diffeomorphism anomalies, ...
متن کاملOn Flux Quantization in M -theory and the Effective Action
The quantization law for the antisymmetric tensor field of M-theory contains a grav-itational contribution not known previously. When it is included, the low energy effective action of M-theory, including one-loop and Chern-Simons contributions, is well-defined.

In this paper, we prove a generalization of Reznikov's theorem on the torsion-property of the Chern-Simons classes and in particular the torsion–property of the Deligne Chern classes (in degrees > 1) of a flat vector bundle on a smooth complex projective variety. We consider the case of a smooth quasi–projective variety with an ir-reducible smooth divisor at infinity. We define the Chern-Simons...
