Geometric origin of the cosmological constant from Einstein-Chern-Simons gravity compactified to four dimensions
M. Cataldo, S. Lepe, C. Riquelme +1
We present a model in which the cosmological constant emerges as a purely geometric effect from the four-dimensional compactification of five-dimensional Einstein-Chern-Simons grav…

Can wormhole spacetimes in Unimodular Gravity be supported by ordinary matter? A general proof of the exotic matter requirement
Mauricio Cataldo, Norman Cruz, Patricio Salgado
We establish a general no--go theorem demonstrating that all traversable wormhole configurations in Unimodular Gravity necessarily require exotic matter. The proof relies solely on…
