Weyl-gauging of Topologically Massive Gravity
Suat Dengiz, Ercan Kilicarslan, Bayram Tekin
We construct a Weyl-invariant extension of topologically massive gravity which, remarkably, turns out to include topologically massive electrodynamics, with a Proca mass term, conf…
Energy and Angular Momentum in Generic F(Riemann) Theories
Cetin Senturk, Tahsin Cagri Sisman, Bayram Tekin
We construct the conserved charge of generic gravity theories built on arbitrary contractions of the Riemann tensor (but not on its derivatives) for asymptotically (anti)-de Sitter…
Spectra, vacua and the unitarity of Lovelock gravity in D-dimensional AdS spacetimes
Tahsin Cagri Sisman, Ibrahim Gullu, Bayram Tekin
We explicitly confirm the expectation that generic Lovelock gravity in D dimensions has a unitary massless spin-2 excitation around any one of its constant curvature vacua just lik…
New Exact Solutions of Quadratic Curvature Gravity
Metin Gurses, Tahsin Cagri Sisman, Bayram Tekin
It is a known fact that the Kerr-Schild type solutions in general relativity satisfy both exact and linearized Einstein field equations. We show that this property remains valid al…
Weyl-Invariant Higher Curvature Gravity Theories in n Dimensions
M. Reza Tanhayi, Suat Dengiz, Bayram Tekin
We study the particle spectrum and the unitarity of the generic n-dimensional Weyl-invariant quadratic curvature gravity theories around their (anti-)de Sitter [(A)dS] and flat vac…
