Scalar Field for Breaking Lorentz and Diffeomorphism Invariance
R. Jackiw
A scalar field can be inserted in Maxwell and/or Einstein theory to effect symmetry breaking. Consequences of such a modification are discussed. Possible dynamics for the scalar fi…
Chern-Simons Modification of General Relativity
R. Jackiw, S. -Y. Pi
General relativity is extended by promoting the three-dimensional gravitational Chern-Simons term to four dimensions. This entails choosing an embedding coordinate v_μ-- an externa…
Dimensionally Reduced Gravitational Chern-Simons Term and its Kink
G. Guralnik, A. Iorio, R. Jackiw +1
When the gravitational Chern-Simons term is reduced from 3 to 2 dimensions, the lower dimensional theory supports a symmetry breaking solution and an associated kink. Kinks in gene…
Noncommuting fields and non-Abelian fluids
R. Jackiw
The original ideas about noncommuting coordinates are recalled. The connection between U(1) gauge fields defined on noncommuting coordinates and fluid mechanics is explained. Non-A…
