Boundary dynamics of Maxwell-invariant three-dimensional Chern-Simons gravity

Felix Höfenstock, Patricio Salgado-Rebolledo

We construct a two-dimensional dual field theory induced at the boundary of three-dimensional Chern-Simons gravity invariant under the Maxwell algebra. The resulting action takes t…

Non-relativistic spin-3 symmetries in 2+1 dimensions from expanded/extended Nappi-Witten algebras

Ricardo Caroca, Diego M. Peñafiel, Patricio Salgado-Rebolledo

We show that infinite families of non-relativistic spin- symmetries in dimensions, which include higher-spin extensions of the Bargmann, Newton-Hooke, non-relativistic Max…

Asymptotic structure of Carrollian limits of Einstein-Yang-Mills theory in four spacetime dimensions

Oscar Fuentealba, Marc Henneaux, Patricio Salgado-Rebolledo +1

In this paper, three things are done. First, we study from an algebraic point of view the infinite-dimensional BMS-like extensions of the Carroll algebra relevant to the asymptotic…

Semi-simple enlargement of the algebra from a Chern-Simons theory

Patrick Concha, Nelson Merino, Evelyn Rodríguez +2

In this work we present a BMS-like ansatz for a Chern-Simons theory based on the semi-simple enlargement of the Poincaré symmetry, also known as AdS-Lorentz algebra. We start by sh…

Asymptotic symmetries of three-dimensional Chern-Simons gravity for the Maxwell algebra

Patrick Concha, Nelson Merino, Olivera Miskovic +3

We study a three-dimensional Chern-Simons gravity theory based on the Maxwell algebra. We find that the boundary dynamics is described by an enlargement and deformation of the $\ma…

Generalized Chern-Simons higher-spin gravity theories in three dimensions

Ricardo Caroca, Patrick Concha, Octavio Fierro +2

The coupling of spin-3 gauge fields to three-dimensional Maxwell and -Lorentz gravity theories is presented. After showing how the usual spin-3 extensions of the and the…

Geometric actions for three-dimensional gravity

Glenn Barnich, Hernan A. Gonzalez, Patricio Salgado-Rebolledo

The solution space of three-dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter or flat Einstein gravity is given by the coadjoint representation of two copies of the Virasoro group in the f…

Generalizing the and 2D-conformal algebras by expanding the Virasoro algebra

Ricardo Caroca, Patrick Concha, Evelyn Rodríguez +1

By means of the Lie algebra expansion method, the centrally extended conformal algebra in two dimensions and the algebra are obtained from the Virasoro algebra…

Topological gravity and Wess-Zumino-Witten term

Patricio Salgado, Patricio Salgado-Rebolledo, Omar Valdivia

It is shown that the action for topological gravity in even dimensions is, except by a multiplicative constant, a gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten Term.
