Gravity with torsion as deformed theory
Alberto S. Cattaneo, Leon Menger, Michele Schiavina
We study a family of (possibly non topological) deformations of theory for the Lie algebra obtained by quadratic extension of by an orthogonal module. The…
Phase space for gravity with boundaries
Alberto S. Cattaneo
This explanatory note, based on the geometrical method by Kijovski and Tulczyjew, describes the construction of the reduced phase space of Lagrangian field theories, i.e., the corr…
Boundary structure of the standard model coupled to gravity
Giovanni Canepa, Alberto S. Cattaneo, Filippo Fila-Robattino +1
In this article a description of the reduced phase space of the standard model coupled to gravity is given. For space or time-like boundaries this is achieved as the reduction of a…
BV Quantization
Alberto S. Cattaneo, Pavel Mnev, Michele Schiavina
This note gives an overview of the BV formalism in its various incarnations and applications.
Graded geometry and generalized reduction
Henrique Bursztyn, Alberto S. Cattaneo, Rajan Amit Mehta +1
We present general reduction procedures for Courant, Dirac and generalized complex structures, in particular when a group of symmetries is acting. We do so by taking the graded sym…
The canonical BV Laplacian on half-densities
Alberto S. Cattaneo
This is a didactical review on the canonical BV Laplacian on half-densities.
