Fibre bundle generated theory of higher dimensional gravity

Theo Verwimp

With the help of Weil polynomials on the Lie algebra of the Poincaré group in D dimensions, we construct a Lagrangian form for higher dimensional gravity on a principal fibre bundl…

Unified prescription for the generation of electroweak and gravitational gauge field Lagrangian on a principal fiber bundle

Theo Verwimp

The Glashow-Weinberg-Salam gauge field Lagrangian for electroweak theory and the Townsend-Zardecki action for gravitation are obtained from the same type of Yang-Mills Weil form on…

On higher dimensional gravity: the Lagrangian, its dimensional reduction and a cosmological model

Theo Verwimp

By dimensional reduction of the Lovelock Lagrangian, effective four-dimensional field equations and expressions for the cosmological and gravitational constants are obtained. A cos…

Boundary terms in Lovelock gravity from dimensionally continued Chern-Simons forms

Theo Verwimp

Boundary terms for Lovelock gravity are obtained by calculating in arbitrary dimension the index theorem for the de Rham complex of a manifold with nonempty boundary.

On Generating a Lagrangian for Higher Dimensional Gravity

Theo Verwimp

The Lovelock Lagrangian is for even dimension D obtained from Weil polynomials on the Lie algebra of the Lorentz group SO(1,D-1). The procedure for generating it is related to the…

Anti-de Sitter gauge theory for gravity

Theo Verwimp

First a review is given of Riemann-Cartan space-time and Einstein-Cartan gravity. This gives us the necessary tools to handle the SO(2,3) Yang-Mills gauge theory for gravity. Field…
