Inducing Gravity From Connections and Scalar Fields
Hemza Azri
We propose an approach to induced gravity, or Sakharov's "metrical elasticity", which requires only an affine spacetime that accommodates scalar fields. The setup provides the indu…
Cosmological Implications of Affine Gravity
Hemza Azri
The main aim of this thesis is to reveal some interesting aspects of the purely affine theory of gravity and its cosmological implication. A particular attention will be devoted to…
Induced Affine Inflation
Hemza Azri, Durmus Demir
Induced gravity, metrical gravity in which gravitational constant arises from vacuum expectation value of a heavy scalar, is known to suffer from Jordan frame vs. Einstein frame am…
Are there really conformal frames? Uniqueness of affine inflation
Hemza Azri
Here we concisely review the nonminimal coupling dynamics of a single scalar field in the context of purely affine gravity and extend the study to multifield dynamics. The coupling…
