Covariant and Manifestly Projective Invariant Formulation of Thomas-Whitehead Gravity
Tyler Grover, Kory Stiffler, Patrick Vecera
Thomas-Whitehead (TW) gravity is a recently formulated projectively invariant extension of Einstein-Hilbert gravity. Projective geometry was used long ago by Thomas et. al. to succ…
Inflation from Dynamical Projective Connections
Muhammad Abdullah, Calvin Bavor, Biruk Chafamo +4
We show how the recently developed string-inspired, projectively-invariant gravitational model Thomas-Whitehead gravity (TW gravity) naturally gives rise to a field acting as the i…
Properties of HYMNs in Examples of Four-Color, Five-Color, and Six-Color Adinkras
S. James Gates, Yangrui Hu, Kory Stiffler
The mathematical concept of a "Banchoff index" associated with discrete Morse functions for oriented triangular meshes has been shown to correspond to the height assignments of nod…
Infinite-Dimensional Algebraic () Structure in Extended/Higher Dimensional SUSY Holoraumy for Valise and On-Shell Supermultiplet Representations
S. James Gates, Gabriel Hannon, Rui Xian Siew +1
We explore the relationship between holoraumy and Hodge duality beyond four dimensions. We find this relationship to be ephemeral beyond six dimensions: it is not demanded by the s…
General structure of ThomasWhitehead gravity
Samuel Brensinger, Kenneth Heitritter, Vincent Rodgers +1
Thomas-Whitehead (TW) gravity is a projectively invariant model of gravity over a d-dimensional manifold that is intimately related to string theory through reparameterization inva…
Dark Energy From Dynamical Projective Connections
Samuel Brensinger, Kenneth Heitritter, Vincent G. J. Rodgers +2
We further develop the gravitational model, Thomas-Whitehead Gravity (TW Gravity), that arises when projective connections become dynamical fields. TW Gravity has its origins in ge…
