W Gravity From Chern–Simons Theory
Starting with three dimensional Chern–Simons theory with gauge group Sl(N, IR), we derive an action Scov invariant under both left and right WN transformations. We give an interpretation of Scov in terms of anomalies, and discuss its relation with Toda theory. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected]
متن کاملChern-simons Gravity from 3+1-dimensional Gravity
In the context of a Poincaré gauge theoretical formulation, pure gravity in 3 + 1dimensions is dimensionally reduced to gravity in 2 + 1-dimensions with or without cosmological constant Λ. The dimensional reductions are consistent with the gauge symmetries, mapping ISO(3, 1) gauge transformations into ISO(2, 1) ones. One of the reductions leads to Chern-Simons-Witten gravity. The solutions of 2...
متن کاملA Chern-Simons approach to Galilean quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions
We define and discuss classical and quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions in the Galilean limit. Although there are no Newtonian forces between massive objects in (2+1)dimensional gravity, the Galilean limit is not trivial. Depending on the topology of spacetime there are typically finitely many topological degrees of freedom as well as topological interactions of Aharonov-Bohm type between massive...
متن کاملChern–Simons Gravity and Holographic Anomalies
We present a holographic treatment of Chern-Simons (CS) gravity theories in odd dimensions. We construct the associated holographic stress tensor and calculate the Weyl anomalies of the dual CFT.

متن کاملA Covariant Formalism for Chern–simons Gravity
Chern–Simons type Lagrangians in d = 3 dimensions are analyzed from the point of view of their covariance and globality. We use the transgression formula to find out a new fully covariant and global Lagrangian for Chern–Simons gravity: the price for establishing globality is hidden in a bimetric (or biconnection) structure. Such a formulation allows to calculate from a global and simpler viewpo...
