Covariant Lagrangian Formulation of Chern-Simons and BF Theories
A. Borowiec, L. Fatibene, M. Ferraris +1
We investigate the covariant formulation of Chern-Simons theories in a general odd dimension which can be obtained by introducing a vacuum connection field as a reference. Field eq…
Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Blackholes and Naked Singularities
Lorenzo Fatibene, Mauro Francaviglia, Roberto Giambo' +1
Proceedings of the international Workshop on ``Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Blackholes and Naked Singularities``, that took place at the Department of Mathematics of the Politecn…
Post-Newtonian Parameters from Alternative Theories of Gravity
Gianluca Allemandi, Mauro Francaviglia, Matteo Luca Ruggiero +1
Alternative theories of gravity have been recently studied in connection with their cosmological applications, both in the Palatini and in the metric formalism. The aim of this pap…
Three-Dimensional Chern-Simons and BF Theories
A. Borowiec, M. Francaviglia
Our aim in this note is to clarify a relationship between covariant Chern-Simons 3-dimensional theory and Schwartz type topological field theory known also as BF theory.
Dark Energy Dominance and Cosmic Acceleration in First Order Formalism
Gianluca Allemandi, Andrzej Borowiec, Mauro Francaviglia +1
The current accelerated universe could be produced by modified gravitational dynamics as it can be seen in particular in its Palatini formulation. We analyze here a specific non-li…
