Partially Massless Spin-2 Fields in String Generated Models
Bayram Tekin
In cosmological backgrounds, there can be 'partially massless' higher spin fields which have fewer degrees of freedom than their massive partners. The equations for the partially m…
Fluctuations of a (Tensionless) Brane World
Bayram Tekin
We compute the quantum fluctuations of a 3-brane with tension, energy density and stiffness. As a result of the fluctuations there are induced forces between massive objects living…
Higher Dimensional Operators or Large Extra Dimensions?
Bayram Tekin
We deform gravity with higher curvature terms in four dimensions and argue that the non-relativistic limit is of the same form as the non-relativistic limit of the theories with la…
On the Relevance of Singular Solutions in dS_3 and AdS_3 Gravity
Bayram Tekin
Canonical quantization of three dimensional gravity in the first order formalism suggests that one should allow singular solutions. This paper addresses the importance of singular…
Monopole-Instanton Type Solutions In 3D Gravity
Bayram Tekin
Three dimensional Euclidean gravity in the dreibein-spin connection formalism is investigated. We use the monopole-instanton ansatz for the dreibein and the spin connection. The eq…
Complex Monopoles in the Path Integral
Y. Hosotani, B. Tekin, K. Saririan
Complex monopole configurations dominate in the path integral in the Georgi-Glashow-Chern-Simons model and disorder the Higgs vacuum. No cancellation is expected among Gribov copie…
