Randall-Sundrum brane universe as a ground state for Chern-Simons gravity
Fabrizio Cordonier-Tello, Fernando Izaurieta, Patricio Mella +1
In stark contrast with the three-dimensional case, higher-dimensional Chern-Simons theories can have non-topological, propagating degrees of freedom. Finding those vacua that allow…
Supersymmetric 3D model for gravity with gauge symmetry, mass generation and effective cosmological constant
Pedro D. Alvarez, Pablo Pais, Eduardo Rodríguez +2
A Chern--Simons system in dimensions invariant under local Lorentz rotations, gauge transformations, and local supersymmetry transformations is propos…
Effectively four-dimensional spacetimes emerging from d=5 Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet Gravity
Fernando Izaurieta, Eduardo Rodríguez
Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity in five-dimensional spacetime provides an excellent example of a theory that, while including higher-order curvature corrections to General Relativity…
On eleven-dimensional Supergravity and Chern-Simons theory
Fernando Izaurieta, Eduardo Rodríguez
We probe in some depth into the structure of eleven-dimensional, osp(32|1)-based Chern-Simons supergravity, as put forward by Troncoso and Zanelli (TZ) in 1997. We find that the TZ…
Standard General Relativity from Chern-Simons Gravity
Fernando Izaurieta, Paul Minning, Alfredo Pérez +2
Chern-Simons models for gravity are interesting because they provide with a truly gauge-invariant action principle in the fiber-bundle sense. So far, their main drawback has largel…
Dual Formulation of the Lie Algebra S-expansion Procedure
Fernando Izaurieta, Alfredo Pérez, Eduardo Rodríguez +1
The expansion of a Lie algebra entails finding a new, bigger algebra G, through a series of well-defined steps, from an original Lie algebra g. One incarnation of the method, the s…
