A Pamphlet against The Energy
Alexey Golovnev
It is a well-known fact that there is no well-defined notion of conserved energy in gravity. In my opinion, it is not a big deal. As a conserved quantity, energy is a rather artifi…
Geometry and covariance of symmetric teleparallel theories of gravity
Daniel Blixt, Alexey Golovnev, Maria-Jose Guzman +1
We present the geometric foundations and derivations of equations of motion for symmetric teleparallel theories of gravity in the coincident gauge and covariant frameworks. We disc…
Static spherically symmetric solutions in New General Relativity
Alexey Golovnev, A. N. Semenova, V. P. Vandeev
We give a pedagogical introduction to static spherically symmetric solutions in models of New GR, both explaining the basics and showing how all such vacuum solutions can be obtain…
The geometrical meaning of the Weitzenböck connection
Alexey Golovnev
In the current literature, there are many discussions about the local Lorentz invariance of modified teleparallel gravity. This symmetry is obviously violated in the classical "pur…
On the role of constraints and degrees of freedom in the Hamiltonian formalism
Alexey Golovnev
Unfortunately, the Hamiltonian mechanics of degenerate Lagrangian systems is usually presented as a mere recipe of Dirac, with no explanation as to how it works. Then it comes to d…
The Variational principle, Conformal and Disformal transformations, and the degrees of freedom
Alexey Golovnev
Conformal and disformal transformations are now being very intensively studied in the context of various modified gravity theories. In particular, some special classes of them can…
