Chiral higher spin gravity and convex geometry

چکیده
Chiral Higher Spin Gravity is the minimal extension of graviton with propagating massless higher spin fields. It admits any value cosmological constant, including zero. Its existence implies that Chern-Simons vector models have closed subsectors and supports 3d 3d bosonization duality. In this letter, we explicitly construct an A_\infty display="inline">A∞ -algebra determines all interaction vertices theory. The algebra turns out to be pre-Calabi-Yau type. corresponding products, some which originate from Shoikhet-Tsygan-Kontsevich formality, are given by integrals over configuration space convex polygons.

Bottleneck Surfaces and Worldsheet Geometry of Higher-Curvature Quantum Gravity
We describe a simple lattice model of higher-curvature quantum gravity in two dimensions and study the phase structure of the theory as a function of the curvature coupling. It is shown that the ensemble of flat graphs is entropically unstable to the formation of baby universes. In these simplified models the growth in graphs exhibits a branched polymer behaviour in the phase directly before th...
متن کاملDuality in Gravity and Higher Spin Gauge Fields
Dual field theory realisations are given for linearised gravity in terms of gauge fields in exotic representations of the Lorentz group. The field equations and dual representations are discussed for a wide class of higher spin gauge fields. For non-linear Einstein gravity, such transformations can be implemented locally in light-cone gauge, or partially implemented in the presence of a Killing...
متن کاملChiral Gravity, Log Gravity, and Extremal CFT
We show that the linearization of all exact solutions of classical chiral gravity around the AdS3 vacuum have positive energy. Non-chiral and negative-energy solutions of the linearized equations are infrared divergent at second order, and so are removed from the spectrum. In other words, chirality is confined and the equations of motion have linearization instabilities. We prove that the only ...
متن کاملGeometry of the Moduli of Higher Spin Curves
This article treats various aspects of the geometry of the moduli S 1/r g of r-spin curves and its compactification S 1/r g . Generalized spin curves, or r-spin curves, are a natural generalization of 2-spin curves (algebraic curves with a theta-characteristic), and have been of interest lately because of the similarities between the intersection theory of these moduli spaces and that of the mo...
متن کاملGravity, Geometry and Physics
Geometry is present in physics at many levels, most prominently in the theory of gravity. In these introductory lectures geometrical concepts like manifolds, geodesics, curvature and topology are introduced as a tool to describe and interpret physical phenomena in space-time, including the gravitational eld itself. The focus is not only on possible static structures, e.g. black holes, but also ...
