Gravitational Higgs Mechanism and Massive Gravity
In [1], in the context of domain wall backgrounds, it was shown that spontaneous breaking of diffeomorphism invariance results in gravitational Higgs mechanism. Recently in [2] ’t Hooft discussed gravitational Higgs mechanism in the context of obtaining massive gravity directly in four dimensions, and pointed out some subtleties with unitarity. We attribute these subtleties to breaking time-lik...
متن کاملA Non - linear σ - model for Partially Polarized QH - states
We consider a two-component quantum Hall system within a Landau-Ginzburg theory with two Chern-Simons gauge fields. From this theory we derive a sigma model covariantly coupled to one Chern-Simons field and find mean field solutions that could describe partially polarized quantum Hall states. The quasiparticles in the original model, which have quantized charge and spin, are described in the co...
متن کاملStrong Gravitational Lensing as a Probe of Gravity, Dark- Matter and Super-Massive Black Holes
Whereas considerable effort has been afforded in understanding the properties of galaxies, a full physical picture, connecting their baryonic and dark-matter content, supermassive black holes, and (metric) theories of gravity, is still ill-defined. Strong gravitational lensing furnishes a powerful method to probe gravity in the central regions of galaxies. It can (1) provide a unique detectionc...
متن کاملNon – linear supersymmetric σ – Model for Scalar Classical Waves
We derive a non–linear supersymmetric σ–model for the transport of light (classical waves) through a disordered medium. We compare this model with the well–established non–linear σ–model for the transport of electrons (Schrödinger waves) and display similarities of and differences between both cases. We show that for weak disorder, both models are equivalent (have the same effective Lagrangean)...
متن کاملThe effective σ-model of multidimensional gravity
The properties of the effective σ-model for D-dimensional Einstein gravity based on multidimensional geometries is analyzed. Besides pure geometry additional minimally coupled scalars and (p + 2)-forms are considered which yield an extended target space after reduction to the effective D0-dimensional geometry. The target space is always a homogeneous space. Exact solutions exist provided an ort...
