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…
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…
Non-perturbative transitions among intersecting-brane vacua
Carlo Angelantonj, Cezar Condeescu, Emilian Dudas +1
We investigate the transmutation of D-branes into Abelian magnetic backgrounds on the world-volume of higher-dimensional branes, within the framework of global models with compact…
