Massive N=2 Supergravity in Three Dimensions
Gokhan Alkac, Luca Basanisi, Eric A. Bergshoeff +2
There exists two distinct off-shell supergravities in three dimensions. They are also referred to as and supergravitie…
Torsional Newton-Cartan Geometry and the Schrödinger Algebra
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Jelle Hartong, Jan Rosseel
We show that by gauging the Schrödinger algebra with critical exponent and imposing suitable curvature constraints, that make diffeomorphisms equivalent to time and space trans…
Interacting spin-2 fields in three dimensions
Hamid R. Afshar, Eric A. Bergshoeff, Wout Merbis
Using the frame formulation of multi-gravity in three dimensions, we show that demanding the presence of secondary constraints which remove the Boulware-Deser ghosts restricts the…
The Non-Relativistic Superparticle in a Curved Background
Eric Bergshoeff, Joaquim Gomis, Marija Kovacevic +3
Using a component formulation, we construct the supersymmetric action for a superparticle in a three-dimensional Newton-Cartan supergravity background and clarify its symmetries. O…
Dynamics of Carroll Particles
Eric Bergshoeff, Joaquim Gomis, Giorgio Longhi
We investigate particles whose dynamics is invariant under the Carroll group. Although a single free such Carroll particle has no non-trivial dynamics (`the Carroll particle does n…
Extended massive gravity in three dimensions
Hamid R. Afshar, Eric A. Bergshoeff, Wout Merbis
Using a first order Chern-Simons-like formulation of gravity we systematically construct higher-derivative extensions of general relativity in three dimensions. The construction en…
3D Born-Infeld Gravity and Supersymmetry
Eric Bergshoeff, Mehmet Ozkan
We construct the most general parity-even higher-derivative N=1 off-shell supergravity model in three dimensions with a maximum of six derivatives. Excluding terms quadratic in the…
Minimal Massive 3D Gravity
Eric Bergshoeff, Olaf Hohm, Wout Merbis +2
We present an alternative to Topologically Massive Gravity (TMG) with the same "minimal" bulk properties; i.e. a single local degree of freedom that is realized as a massive gravit…
Towards a classification of branes in theories with eight supercharges
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Fabio Riccioni, Luca Romano
We provide a classification of half-supersymmetric branes in quarter-maximal supergravity theories with scalars parametrising coset manifolds. Guided by the results previously obta…
Chern-Simons-like Gravity Theories
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Olaf Hohm, Wout Merbis +2
A wide class of three-dimensional gravity models can be put into "Chern-Simons-like" form. We perform a Hamiltonian analysis of the general model and then specialise to Einstein-Ca…
Logarithmic AdS Waves and Zwei-Dreibein Gravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Andrés F. Goya, Wout Merbis +1
We show that the parameter space of Zwei-Dreibein Gravity (ZDG) in AdS3 exhibits critical points, where massive graviton modes coincide with pure gauge modes and new `logarithmic'…
