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…
Covariant Quiver Gauge Theories
Richard J. Szabo, Omar Valdivia
We consider dimensional reduction of gauge theories with arbitrary gauge group in a formalism based on equivariant principal bundles. For the classical gauge groups we clarify the…
Minimal AdS-Lorentz supergravity in three-dimensions
O. Fierro, F. Izaurieta, P. Salgado +1
The AdS-Lorentz superalgebra is studied and its relationship to semigroup expansion developed. Using this mathematical tool, the invariant tensors and Casimir opera…
Topological gravity and transgression holography
Patricio Salgado, Richard J. Szabo, Omar Valdivia
We show that Poincare-invariant topological gravity in even dimensions can be formulated as a transgression field theory in one higher dimension whose gauge connections are associa…
