Ghost-free higher-order theories of gravity with torsion

چکیده
Abstract In this manuscript we will present the theoretical framework of recently proposed infinite derivative theory gravity with a non-symmetric connection. We explicitly derive field equations at linear level and obtain new solutions non-trivial form torsion tensor in presence fermionic source, show that these are both ghost singularity-free.

Towards singularity- and ghost-free theories of gravity.
We present the most general covariant ghost-free gravitational action in a Minkowski vacuum. Apart from the much studied f(R) models, this includes a large class of nonlocal actions with improved UV behavior, which nevertheless recover Einstein's general relativity in the IR.
متن کاملBending and Free Vibration Analysis of Functionally Graded Plates via Optimized Non-polynomial Higher Order Theories
Optimization concept in the context of shear deformation theories was born for the development of accurate models to study the bending problem of structures. The present study seeks to extend such an approach to the dynamic analysis of plates. A compact and unified formulation with non-polynomial shear strain shape functions (SSSFs) is employed to develop a static and free vibration analysis of...

متن کاملThe Effective Cosmological Constant in Higher Order Gravity Theories
Fundamental issues as the determination of gravity vacuum state, the mechanism which led the early universe to the today observed large scale structures, and the prediction of what will be the fate of the whole universe are all connected to the determination of cosmological constant. Besides, from several points of view, it seems that Einstein’s theory of gravity must be generalized to higher–o...
متن کاملSlice Energy in Higher Order Gravity Theories and Conformal Transformations
We show that there is a generic transport of energy between the scalar field generated by the conformal transformation of higher order gravity theories and the matter component. We give precise relations of this exchange and show that, unless we are in a stationary spacetime, slice energy is not generically conserved. These results translate into statements about the relative behaviour of ordin...
