Conserved Gravitational Charges as Curvature Fluxes
Emel Altas, Bayram Tekin
The paper demonstrates that conserved gravitational charges in asymptotically AdS and flat spacetimes can be equivalently expressed as fluxes of linearized curvature using a diverg…
Static Tidal Perturbations of Relativistic Stars: Corrected Center Expansion and Love Numbers-I
Emel Altas, Ercan Kilicarslan, Onur Oktay +1
We revisit static tidal perturbations of relativistic stars with emphasis on two technical issues in the standard quadrupolar formulation. First, we derive the regular-center Frobe…
Geometry is Wavy: Curvature Wave Equations for Generic Affine Connections
Emel Altas, Bayram Tekin
Geometry is wavy: even at the purely geometric level (no particular theory chosen), curvature satisfies a covariant quasilinear wave equation. In Riemannian geometry equipped with…
Consistency Problems of Conformal Killing Gravity
Emel Altas, Bayram Tekin
We show that gravity field equations based on a tensor with rank greater than 2 have consistency problems in the sense that integration constants in the solutions, such as the para…
Vanishing of Conserved Charges in Cotton Gravity
Emel Altas, Bayram Tekin
Cotton gravity was recently introduced as a higher derivative extension of General Relativity. The field equations of the theory involve the rank-3 Cotton tensor. Here we show that…
