Generalized Chern-Simons action principles for gravity
arXiv:1506.09090
Abstract
Generalized differential forms are employed to construct generalized connections. Lorentzian four-metrics determined by certain of these connections satisfy Einstein's vacuum field equations when the connections are flat. Generalized Chern-Simons action principles with Einstein's equations as Euler-Lagrange equations are constructed by using these connections.
