Four-dimensional topological Yang-Mills-Higgs theories with BRST instability
Guilherme Sadovski
We show that four-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theories, when suitably coupled to Higgs-like fields, admit representations in terms of massive gauge fields in a non-trivial n…

Topological symmetry-restored phase of gravity
Guilherme Sadovski, Rodrigo F. Sobreiro
In this work, we propose a topological quantum field theory phase for four-dimensional gravity. We show it is able to generate, not only General Relativity, but the whole family of…

About the (in)equivalence between holonomic versus non-holonomic theories of gravity
Guilherme Sadovski
We investigate the scenarios in which a holonomic versus a non-holonomic frame description of gravity theories are equivalent. It turns out that classically, the equivalence holds…
