World-Line Actions in Weyl Geometry
Cezar Condeescu, Andrei Micu
In this note we construct, from a gauge theory perspective, the world-line action for a particle moving on a time-like curve in Weyl geometry. The action we find is dimensionless,…
Conformal geometry as a gauge theory of gravity: covariant equations of motion & conservation laws
C. Condeescu, D. M. Ghilencea, A. Micu
We study Weyl conformal geometry as a general gauge theory of the Weyl group (of Poincaré and dilatations symmetries) in a manifestly Weyl gauge covariant formalism in which this g…
The Gauge Theory of Weyl Group and its Interpretation as Weyl Quadratic Gravity
Cezar Condeescu, Andrei Micu
In this paper we give an extensive description of Weyl quadratic gravity as the gauge theory of the Weyl group. The previously discovered (vectorial) torsion/non-metricity equivale…
Rigid Vacua with Brane Supersymmetry Breaking
C. Angelantonj, C. Condeescu, E. Dudas +1
We construct new string vacua featuring Brane Supersymmetry Breaking, based on orientifolds with planes and branes. Differen…
Weyl quadratic gravity as a gauge theory and non-metricity vs torsion duality
C. Condeescu, D. M. Ghilencea, A. Micu
We review (non-supersymmetric) gauge theories of four-dimensional space-time symmetries and their quadratic action. The only true gauge theory of such a symmetry (with a physical g…
String Defects, Supersymmetry and the Swampland
Carlo Angelantonj, Quentin Bonnefoy, Cezar Condeescu +1
Recently, Kim, Shiu and Vafa proposed general consistency conditions for six dimensional supergravity theories with minimal supersymmetry coming from couplings to strings. We test…
