Chern-Simons-like formulation of 3D MMG-like massive gravity models
BüÅra DedeoÄlu, Mehmet Ozkan, Ãzgür SarıoÄlu
We investigate the Chern-Simons-like formulation of 3D MMG-like massive gravity models that are "third-way consistent". Building on previous work on exotic massive gravities, we an…
Chern-Simons potentials of higher-dimensional Pontryagin densities
Onur Ayberk Ãakmak, Ãzgür SarıoÄlu
We develop a novel and systematic approach to computing the -form Chern-Simons potential given the Pontryagin density, i.e. the Chern character, in arbitrar…
On the maximally symmetric vacua of generic Lovelock gravities
Deniz Olgu DevecioÄlu, Ulf Lindström, Ãzgür SarıoÄlu
We survey elementary features of Lovelock gravity and its maximally symmetric vacuum solutions. The latter is solely determined by the real roots of a dimension-dependent polynomia…
Chern-Simons-Like Formulation of Exotic Massive 3D Gravity Models
BüÅra DedeoÄlu, Mehmet Ozkan, Ãzgür SarıoÄlu
We investigate the Chern-Simons-like formulation of exotic general massive gravity models within the framework of third-way to three-dimensional gravity. We classify our constructi…
