2+1 gravity on the conformal sphere
Sean Gryb, Flavio Mercati
We show that there are 2 equivalent first order descriptions of 2+1 gravity with non-zero cosmological constant. One is the well-known spacetime description and the other is in ter…

Shape dynamics and Mach's principles: Gravity from conformal geometrodynamics
Sean Gryb
In this PhD thesis, we develop a new approach to classical gravity starting from Mach's principles and the idea that the local shape of spatial configurations is fundamental. This…
