Eddington-Born-Infeld action and the dark side of general relativity
Maximo Banados
We review a recent proposal to describe dark matter and dark energy based on an Eddington-Born-Infeld action. The theory is successful in describing the evolution of the expansion…
N=2 supergravity in three dimensions and its Godel supersymmetric background
Maximo Banados, Alberto T. Faraggi, Stefan Theisen
The four dimensional Godel spacetime is known to have the structure M_3 x R. It is also known that the three-dimensional factor M_3 is an exact solution of three-dimensional gravit…
The ground-state of General Relativity, Topological Theories and Dark Matter
Maximo Banados
We suggest a limit of Einstein equations incorporating the state as a solution. The large scale behavior of this theory has interesting properties. For a spherical sourc…
Higher Dimensional Chern-Simons Theories and Topological Black Holes
Maximo Banados
It has been recently pointed out that black holes of constant curvature with a "chronological singularity" can be constructed in any spacetime dimension. These black holes share ma…
Black Holes of Constant Curvature
Maximo Banados
Black holes of constant curvature are constructed by identifying points in anti-de Sitter space. In n dimensions the resulting topology is R^{n-1} * S_1, as opposed to the usual R^…
