On the topological character of metric-affine Lovelock Lagrangians in critical dimensions
Bert Janssen, Alejandro Jiménez-Cano
In this paper we prove that the -th order metric-affine Lovelock Lagrangian is not a total derivative in the critical dimension in the presence of non-trivial non-metrici…
A non-trivial connection for the metric-affine Gauss-Bonnet theory in
Bert Janssen, Alejandro Jimenez-Cano, Jose Alberto Orejuela
We study non-trivial (i.e. non-Levi-Civita) connections in metric-affine Lovelock theories. First we study the projective invariance of general Lovelock actions and show that all c…
(Non-)uniqueness of Einstein-Palatini Gravity
Bert Janssen, Alejandro Jimenez-Cano, Jose Alberto Orejuela +1
We analyse the most general connection allowed by Einstein-Hilbert theory in Palatini formalism. We also consider a matter lagrangian independent of the affine connection. We show…
