Two-dimensional metric-affine gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
There is a number of completely integrable gravity theories in two dimensions. We study the metric-affine approach on a 2-dimensional spacetime and display a new integrable model. Its properties are described and compared with the known results of Poincaré gauge gravity. PACS: 04.50.+h, 04.20.Fy, 04.20.Jb, 04.60.Kz, 02.30.Ik

BRST–Antifield–Treatment of Metric–Affine Gravity
The metric–affine gauge theory of gravity provides a broad framework in which gauge theories of gravity can be formulated. In this article we fit metric–affine gravity into the covariant BRST–antifield formalism in order to obtain gauge fixed quantum actions. As an example the gauge fixing of a general two–dimensional model of metric–affine gravity is worked out explicitly. The result is shown ...
متن کاملSpherically Symmetric Solutions in a New Braneworld Massive Gravity Theory
In this paper, a combination of the braneworld scenario and covariant de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive Gravity theory is proposed. In this setup, the five-dimensional bulk graviton is considered to be massive. The five dimensional nonlinear ghost-free massive gravity theory affects the 3-brane dynamics and the gravitational potential on the brane. Following the solutions with spherical s...
متن کاملMetric–Affine Gauge Theory of Gravity I. Fundamental Structure and Field Equations
We give a self–contained introduction into the metric–affine gauge theory of gravity. Starting from the equivalence of reference frames, the prototype of a gauge theory is presented and illustrated by the example of Yang–Mills theory. Along the same lines we perform a gauging of the affine group and establish the geometry of metric–affine gravity. The results are put into the dynamical framewor...

The Minkowski space of special relativity can be understood as a flat 4-dimensional affine space enriched by a constant Minkowski metric. If we gauge the general affine group and ‘superimpose’ the metric, then we arrive at the metric-affine theory of gravity (MAG). The gravitational potentials are the spacetime coframe, the metric, and the linear connection. The material energy-momentum is coup...
متن کاملMetric-affine f(R) theories of gravity
General Relativity assumes that spacetime is fully described by the metric alone. An alternative is the so called Palatini formalism where the metric and the connections are taken as independent quantities. The metric-affine theory of gravity has attracted considerable attention recently, since it was shown that within this framework some cosmological models, based on some generalized gravitati...
