Pure Connection Formulation, Twistors and the Chase for a Twistor Action for General Relativity
Yannick Herfray
This paper establishes the relation between traditional results from (euclidean) twistor theory and chiral formulations of General Relativity (GR), especially the pure connection f…

6D Interpretation of 3D Gravity
Yannick Herfray, Kirill Krasnov, Carlos Scarinci
We show that 3D gravity, in its pure connection formulation, admits a natural 6D interpretation. The 3D field equations for the connection are equivalent to 6D Hitchin equations fo…

A 4D gravity theory and G2-holonomy manifolds
Yannick Herfray, Kirill Krasnov, Carlos Scarinci +1
Bryant and Salamon gave a construction of metrics of G2 holonomy on the total space of the bundle of anti-self-dual (ASD) 2-forms over a 4-dimensional self-dual Einstein manifold.…
