Edge Dynamics for BF Theories and Gravity
We discuss BF theories defined on manifolds with spatial boundaries. Variational arguments show that one needs to augment the usual action with a boundary term for specific types of boundary conditions. We also show how to use this procedure to find the boundary actions for theories of gravity with first order formulations.
متن کاملOn the Relations between Gravity and BF Theories
We review, in the light of recent developments, the existing relations between gravity and topological BF theories at the classical level. We include the Plebanski action in both self-dual and non-chiral formulations, their generalizations, and the MacDowell– Mansouri action.
متن کاملBf Theories with Sources and 2 - D Gravity
We study the interaction of non-Abelian topological BF theories defined on two dimensional manifolds with point sources carrying non-Abelian charges. We identify the most general solution for the field equations on simply and multiply connected two-manifolds. Taking the particular choice of the so-called extended Poincaré group as the gauge group we discuss how recent discussions of two dimensi...
متن کاملAnomaly-free W-gravity Theories
We give a review of some recent developments in the quantisation of W-gravity theories. In particular, we discuss the construction of anomaly-free W ∞ and W 3 gravities.
