Torsion induces Gravity
Rodrigo Aros, Mauricio Contreras
In this work the Poincare-Chern Simons and Anti de Sitter Chern Simons gravities are studied. For both a solution that can be casted as a black hole with manifest torsion is found.…
Path integral measure for first order and metric gravities
Rodrigo Aros, Mauricio Contreras, Jorge Zanelli
The equivalence between the path integrals for first order gravity and the standard torsion-free, metric gravity in 3+1 dimensions is analyzed. Starting with the path integral for…
Conserved Charges for Even Dimensional Asymptotically AdS Gravity Theories
Rodrigo Aros, Mauricio Contreras, Rodrigo Olea +2
Mass and other conserved Noether charges are discussed for solutions of gravity theories with locally Anti-de Sitter asymptotics in 2n dimensions. The action is supplemented with a…
Conserved charges for gravity with locally AdS asymptotics
Rodrigo Aros, Mauricio Contreras, Rodrigo Olea +2
A new formula for the conserved charges in 3+1 gravity for spacetimes with local AdS asymptotic geometry is proposed. It is shown that requiring the action to have an extremum for…
A note on the spin connection representation of gravity
Mauricio Contreras, Jorge Zanelli
The formulation of gravity in 3+1 dimensions in which the spin connection is the basic field (-frame) leads to a theory with first and second class constraints. Here, the Dirac…
Darboux coordinates for (first order) tetrad gravity
Maximo Banados, Mauricio Contreras
The Hamiltonian form of the Hilbert action in the first order tetrad formalism is examined. We perform a non-linear field redefinition of the canonical variables isolating the part…
