On asymptotic charges in 3D gravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Wout Merbis, Paul K. Townsend
A variant of the ADT method for the determination of gravitational charges as integrals at infinity is applied to "Chern-Simons-like" theories of 3D gravity, and the result is used…
String Theory and String Newton-Cartan Geometry
Eric Bergshoeff, Jaume Gomis, Jan Rosseel +2
Nonrelativistic string theory is described by a sigma model with a relativistic worldsheet and a nonrelativistic target spacetime geometry, that is called string Newton-Cartan geom…
Lie Algebra Expansions and Actions for Non-Relativistic Gravity
Eric Bergshoeff, Jose Manuel Izquierdo, Tomas Ortin +1
We show that the general method of Lie algebra expansions can be applied to re-construct several algebras and related actions for non-relativistic gravity that have occurred in the…
The different faces of branes in Double Field Theory
Eric Bergshoeff, Axel Kleinschmidt, Edvard T. Musaev +1
We show how the Wess-Zumino terms of the different branes in string theory can be embedded within double field theory. Crucial ingredients in our construction are the identificatio…
