On Critical Massive (Super)Gravity in adS3
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Olaf Hohm, Jan Rosseel +2
We review the status of three-dimensional "general massive gravity" (GMG) in its linearization about an anti-de Sitter (adS) vacuum, focusing on critical points in parameter space…
Newtonian Gravity and the Bargmann Algebra
Roel Andringa, Eric Bergshoeff, Sudhakar Panda +1
We show how the Newton-Cartan formulation of Newtonian gravity can be obtained from gauging the Bargmann algebra, i.e., the centrally extended Galilean algebra. In this gauging pro…
D-Brane Wess-Zumino Terms and U-Duality
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Fabio Riccioni
We construct gauge-invariant and U-duality covariant expressions for Wess-Zumino terms corresponding to general Dp-branes (for any p<D) in arbitrary 2<D<11 dimensions. A distinguis…
Gravitons in Flatland
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Olaf Hohm, Paul K. Townsend
We review some features of three-dimensional (3D) massive gravity theories. In particular, we stress the role of the Schouten tensor, explore an analogy with Lovelock gravity and d…
On Maximal Massive 3D Supergravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Olaf Hohm, Jan Rosseel +1
We construct, at the linearized level, the three-dimensional (3D) N = 4 supersymmetric "general massive supergravity" and the maximally supersymmetric N = 8 "new massive supergravi…
More on Massive 3D Supergravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Olaf Hohm, Jan Rosseel +2
Completing earlier work on three dimensional (3D) N=1 supergravity with curvature-squared terms, we construct the general supergravity extension of cosmological massive gravity the…
