Transgression forms as source for topological gravity and Chern-Simons-Higgs theories
Omar Valdivia
Two main gauge invariant off-shell models are studied in this Thesis. I) Poincare-invariant topological gravity in even dimensions is formulated as a transgression field theory who…

Generating infinite-dimensional algebras from loop algebras by expanding Maurer Cartan forms
R. Caroca, N. Merino, P. Salgado +1
It is shown that the expansion methods developed in refs. arXiv:hep-th/0212347 and arXiv:hep-th/0401033v2 can be generalized so that they permit to study the expansion of algebras…

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.
