Microlensing, Newton-Einstein Gravity and Conformal Gravity

Philip D. Mannheim

We discuss some implications of the current round of galactic dark matter searches for galactic rotation curve systematics and dynamics, and show that these new data do not invalid…

Mass Degeneracies In Self-Dual Models

Gerald Dunne

An algebraic restriction of the nonabelian self-dual Chern-Simons-Higgs systems leads to coupled abelian models with interesting mass spectra. The vacua are characterized by embedd…

Integer Quantization of the Chern-Simons Coefficient in a Broken Phase

L. Chen, G. Dunne, K. Haller +1

We consider a spontaneously broken nonabelian topologically massive gauge theory in a broken phase possessing a residual nonabelian symmetry. Recently there has been some question…

Self-Dual Chern-Simons Theories

Gerald Dunne

In these lectures I review classical aspects of the self-dual Chern-Simons systems which describe charged scalar fields in dimensions coupled to a gauge field whose dynamics…

Higgs Mechanism and the Structure of the Energy-Momentum Tensor in Einstein Gravity and Conformal Gravity

Philip D. Mannheim, Demosthenes Kazanas

In the standard treatment of the Einstein gravitational theory the energy-momentum tensor has always been taken to be composed of perfect fluid aggregates of kinematic Newtonian po…

Maxwell-Chern-Simons Theory in Covariant and Coulomb Gauges

Kurt Haller, Edwin Lim-Lombridas

We quantize Quantum Electrodynamics in dimensions coupled to a Chern-Simons (CS) term and a charged spinor field, in covariant gauges and in the Coulomb gauge. The resulting…
