Conformal Gravity as a Deformed Topological Field Theory
James A. Reid
In the MacDowell-Mansouri formulation of general relativity, the spin connection and coframe variables are incorporated into a single Lie algebra-valued connection called the MacDo…
Conformal Holonomy of the Bivariate Gaussian Manifold
James A. Reid
Statistical manifolds, the parameter spaces of smooth families of probability density functions, are the central objects of study in information geometry. While the elementary diff…
Conformal Parametrisation of Loxodromes by Triples of Circles
Vladimir V. Kisil, James Reid
We provide a parametrisation of a loxodrome by three specially arranged cycles. The parametrisation is covariant under fractional linear transformations of the complex plane and na…
A consistent scalar-tensor cosmology for inflation, dark energy and the Hubble parameter
C. H. -T. Wang, J. A. Reid, A. St J. Murphy +5
A Friedman cosmology is investigated based on scalar-tensor gravitation with general metric coupling and scalar potential functions. We show that for a broad class of such function…
Proof of the Witten-Yau Conjecture
James A. Reid, Charles H. -T. Wang
The Witten-Yau theorem in the AdS/CFT correspondence conjectures that the conformal boundary to AdS space must possess a metric of non-negative scalar curvature for the conformal f…
The Configuration Space of Conformal Connection-Dynamics
James A. Reid, Charles H. -T. Wang
The configuration space of the reduced Hamiltonian formulation of quantum gravity has been shown, for non-Ricci flat metrics, to be a higher-dimensional analogue of the Teichmüller…
