From topological to topologically massive gravity through the gauge principle
Giandomenico Palumbo
It is well known that three-dimensional Einstein's gravity without matter is topological, i.e. it does not have local propagating degrees of freedom. The main result of this work i…

Gravitational behavior of an effective topological field theory in a gravitational instanton background
Giandomenico Palumbo
Effective topological field theories describe the properties of Dirac fermions in the low-energy regime. In this work, we introduce a new emergent gravity model by considering Dira…

A crucial hypothesis for Inflation
Giandomenico Palumbo
As is well known there are many different inflationary models that can explain the accelerated expansion occurred in the early Universe. It is possible that there exists a fundamen…
