Extrinsic geometry and Hamiltonian analysis of symmetric teleparallel gravity
Salvatore Capozziello, Dario Sauro
We analyze the properties of foliations in presence of non-metricity, deriving the generalized Gauss-Codazzi relations in full generality. These results are employed to study the t…
Conformal gauge theory of vector-spinors and spin-3/2 particles
Dario Sauro
The unique off-shell fermionic gauge invariance of a vector-spinor field theory is found, and the invariant action is derived. The latter is Weyl invariant in any dimension in the…
Hidden gauge invariances of torsion theories: closed algebras and absence of ghosts
Dario Sauro
We study the possible affine gauge transformations of the torsion tensor that make up Lie algebras. We find two such non-trivial structures, in which the gauge parameters are a …
Heat kernel of non-minimal second-order operators
Dario Sauro
We analyze the spectra of general non-minimal second-order operators. To do this, we derive the local part of the trace of the second Seeley-DeWitt heat kernel coefficient for such…
Radiative corrections to the and invariants from torsion fluctuations on maximally symmetric spaces
Riccardo Martini, Gregorio Paci, Dario Sauro
We derive the runnings of the and operators that stem from integrating out quantum torsion fluctuations on a maximally symmetric Euclidean background, while treating the…
Substructures of the Weyl group and their physical applications
Riccardo Martini, Gregorio Paci, Dario Sauro +2
We study substructures of the Weyl group of conformal transformations of the metric of (pseudo)Riemannian manifolds. These substructures are identified by differential constraints…
