The Gauge Theory of the de-Sitter Group and Ashtekar Formulation
arXiv:gr-qc/9402029 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.50.R3583
Abstract
By adding the Pontrjagin topological invariant to the gauge theory of the de Sitter group proposed by MacDowell and Mansouri we obtain an action quadratic in the field-strengths, of the Chern-Simons type, from which the Ashtekar formulation is derived.
