Very Special Relativity in Curved Space-Times
The generalization of Cohen and Glashow’s Very Special Relativity to curved space-times is considered. Gauging the SIM(2) symmetry does not, in general, provide the coupling to the gravitational background. However, locally SIM(2) invariant Lagrangians can always be constructed. For space-times with SIM(2) holonomy, they describe chiral fermions propagating freely as massive particles.
متن کاملOn boundary terms and conformal transformations in curved space-times
We intend to clarify the interplay between boundary terms and conformal transformations in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. We first consider the action for pure gravity in five dimensions and show that, on compactifing a la Kaluza-Klein to four dimensions, one obtains the correct boundary terms in the Jordan (or String) Frame form of the Brans-Dicke action. Further, we analyze how the bounda...
متن کاملAdvances on String Theory in Curved Space Times
String Quantum Gravity is motivated and introduced. Advances in the study of the classical and quantum string dynamics in curved spacetime are reported : In 1987, we started a programme [1] to study the string dynamics in curved spacetime and its associated physical phenomena. This study revealed new insights and new physical phenomena with respect to string propagation in flat spacetime (and w...
متن کاملCurved space-times by crystallization of liquid fiber bundles
Motivated by the search for a Hamiltonian formulation of Einstein equations of gravity which depends in a minimal way on choices of coordinates, nor on a choice of gauge, we develop a multisymplectic formulation on the total space of the principal bundle of orthonormal frames on the 4-dimensional space-time. This leads quite naturally to a new theory which takes place on 10-dimensional manifold...
متن کاملD-branes and Matrix Theory in Curved Space
In this lecture, we will discuss a class of quantum mechanical actions which we believe are one appropriate starting point for defining Matrix theory in curved backgrounds. This is in part based on the works [16] and [25], and on work in progress with A. Kato and H. Ooguri. But first, let us give some historical background. A central lesson from the physics of D-branes [12,38,39] was a new and ...
