From Virasoro Algebra to Cosmology
Vincent G. J. Rodgers
Earlier work of Balachandran and friends provided a map from algebras to field theories. These methods provide insight into quantum gauge theories and anomalies. In this note we ta…
The Graded Extension of Thomas-Whitehead Gravity
Calvin Mera, Vincent G. J. Rodgers, Patrick Vecera
Thomas-Whitehead (TW) gravity was recently introduced as a projective gauge theory of gravity over a d-dimensional manifold that embeds reparameterization invariance into the actio…
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…
Dynamical Projective Curvature in Gravitation
Samuel Brensinger, Vincent G. J. Rodgers
By using a projective connection over the space of two-dimensional affine connections, we are able to show that the metric interaction of Polyakov 2D gravity with a coadjoint eleme…
Supergravity Solutions with from Non-Abelian T-Dualities
Leopoldo A. Pando Zayas, Vincent G. J. Rodgers, Catherine A. Whiting
We present a large class of new backgrounds that are solutions of type II supergravity with a warped AdS factor, non-trivial axion-dilaton, B-field, and three- and five-form…
