The Use of Torsion in Supergravity Uplifts and Covariant Fractons
Davide Rovere
The aim of this Thesis is twofold. On the one hand, we find the necessary and sufficient conditions for a maximally supersymmetric supergravity theory in 3D to be a solution of 11D…

8D conformal gravity with Einstein sector, and its relation to the Q-curvature
Nicolas Boulanger, Davide Rovere
We first streamline the construction of the unique six-dimensional conformal gravity action found by Lü, Pang and Pope, that admits Einstein metrics as solutions to the field equat…

Covariant Fractons and Weitzenböck Torsion
Davide Rovere
The relation between covariant fracton gauge theory and Moller-Hayashi-Shirafuji theory of gravity is investigated. The former is the gauge theory of a rank-two symmetric tensor wi…
