Scalars, Vectors and Tensors from Metric-Affine Gravity
Canan N. Karahan, Asli Altas, Durmus A. Demir
The metric-affine gravity provides a useful framework for analyzing gravitational dynamics since it treats metric tensor and affine connection as fundamentally independent variable…
Gravity wraps Higgs boson
Durmus A. Demir
It is shown that, under a conformal transformation with reference to the Higgs field, the Higgs boson can be completely decoupled from electroweak interactions with no apparent cha…
Einstein Equations from Riemann-only Gravitational Actions
Durmus Demir, Oktay Dogangun, Tonguc Rador +1
Here show that, pure affine actions based solely on the Riemann curvature tensor lead to Einstein field equations for gravitation. The matter and radiation involved are general eno…
Stress-Energy Connection and Cosmological Constant Problem
Durmus A. Demir
We study gravitational properties of vacuum energy by erecting a geometry on the stress-energy tensor of vacuum, matter and radiation. Postulating that the gravitational effects of…
