Non-Semisimple Gaugings of D=5 N=8 Supergravity
Laura Andrianopoli, Francesco Cordaro, Pietro Fre' +1
The recent construction of the non-semisimple gaugings of maximal D=5 supergravity is reported here. This construction is worked out in the so-called rheonomic approach, based on F…
E_(10), BE_(10) and Arithmetical Chaos in Superstring Cosmology
Thibault Damour, Marc Henneaux
It is shown that the never ending oscillatory behaviour of the generic solution, near a cosmological singularity, of the massless bosonic sector of superstring theory can be descri…
An Exotic Theory of Massless Spin-Two Fields in Three Dimensions
Nicolas Boulanger, Leonardo Gualtieri
It is a general belief that the only possible way to consistently deform the Pauli-Fierz action, changing also the gauge algebra, is general relativity. Here we show that a differe…
Antifield BRST quantization of duality-symmetric Maxwell theory
Xavier Bekaert, Sorin Cucu
We perform the antifield BRST quantization of duality-symmetric Maxwell theory and show explicitly the quantum equivalence of the different formulations (covariant and non-covarian…
A crucial ingredient of inflation
Valerio Faraoni
Nonminimal coupling of the inflaton field to the Ricci curvature of spacetime is generally unavoidable, and the paradigm of inflation should be generalized by including the corresp…
Non-Semisimple Gaugings of D=5 N=8 Supergravity and FDA.s
L. Andrianopoli, F. Cordaro, P. Fre' +1
We reformulate maximal D=5 supergravity in the consistent approach uniquely based on Free Differential Algebras and the solution of their Bianchi identities (= rheonomic method). I…
Holonomies, anomalies and the Fefferman-Graham ambiguity in AdS3 gravity
M. Rooman, Ph. Spindel
Using the Chern-Simon formulation of (2+1) gravity, we derive, for the general asymptotic metrics given by the Fefferman-Graham-Lee theorems, the emergence of the Liouville mode as…
Inconsistency of interacting, multi-graviton theories
Nicolas Boulanger, Thibault Damour, Leonardo Gualtieri +1
We investigate, in any spacetime dimension >=3, the problem of consistent couplings for a finite collection of massless, spin-2 fields described, in the free limit, by a sum of Pau…
Oscillatory Behaviour in Homogeneous String Cosmology Models
Thibault Damour, Marc Henneaux
Some spatially homogeneous Bianchi type I cosmological models filled with homogeneous ``electric'' -form fields are shown to mimic the never-ending oscillatory behaviour of gene…
Chiral forms and their deformations
Xavier Bekaert, Marc Henneaux, Alexander Sevrin
We systematically study deformations of chiral forms with applications to string theory in mind. To first order in the coupling constant, this problem can be translated into the ca…
Gauge dependence of effective action and renormalization group functions in effective gauge theories
G. Barnich, P. A. Grassi
The Caswell-Wilczek analysis on the gauge dependence of the effective action and the renormalization group functions in Yang-Mills theories is generalized to generic, possibly powe…
Couplings of gravity to antisymmetric gauge fields
Xavier Bekaert, Bernard Knaepen, Christiane Schomblond
We classify all the first-order vertices of gravity consistently coupled to a system of 2-form gauge fields by computing the local BRST cohomology H(s|d) in ghost number 0 and form…
Chaos in Superstring Cosmology
Thibault Damour, Marc Henneaux
It is shown that the general solution near a spacelike singularity of the Einstein-dilaton-p-form field equations relevant to superstring theories and M-theory exhibits an oscillat…
Refining the anomaly consistency condition
Glenn Barnich
In the extended antifield formalism, a quantum BRST differential for anomalous gauge theories is constructed. Local BRST cohomological classes are characterized, besides the form d…
The Fefferman-Graham Ambiguity and AdS Black Holes
K. Bautier, F. Englert, M. Rooman +1
Asymptotically anti-de Sitter space-times in pure gravity with negative cosmological constant are described, in all space-time dimensions greater than two, by classical degrees of…
Black Hole Scan
Juan Crisostomo, Ricardo Troncoso, Jorge Zanelli
Gravitation theories selected by requiring that they have a unique anti-de Sitter vacuum with a fixed cosmological constant are studied. For a given dimension d, the Lagrangians un…
Local BRST cohomology in gauge theories
Glenn Barnich, Friedemann Brandt, Marc Henneaux
The general solution of the anomaly consistency condition (Wess-Zumino equation) has been found recently for Yang-Mills gauge theory. The general form of the counterterms arising i…
