Covariant path integral for chiral p-forms.
Chiral p-forms play a central role in supergravity and in string theory [1,2]. In particular, they contribute to the `miraculous" cancellation of the gravitational anomaly in type-IIB supergravity or superstring theory, making these theories quantum-mechanically consistent. The calculation of the gravitational anomaly for chiral p-forms was performed rst in [3] without using a Lagrangian but by...
متن کاملSelf-Similar Collapse of Scalar Field in Higher Dimensions
This paper constructs continuously self-similar solution of a spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a scalar field in n dimensions. The qualitative behavior of these solutions is explained, and closed-form answers are provided where possible. Equivalence of scalar field couplings is used to show a way to generalize minimally coupled scalar field solutions to the model with general cou...
متن کاملInteracting Chiral Gauge Fields in Six Dimensions and Born–Infeld Theory
Dimensional reduction of a self-dual tensor gauge field in 6d gives an Abelian vector gauge field in 5d. We derive the conditions under which an interacting 5d theory of an Abelian vector gauge field is the dimensional reduction of a 6d Lorentz invariant interacting theory of a self-dual tensor. Then we specialize to the particular 6d theory that gives 5d Born–Infeld theory. The field equation ...
متن کاملChiral gravity in two dimensions
It is shown that conformal matter with cL 6= cR can be consistently coupled to two-dimensional ‘frame’ gravity. The theory is quantized, following David, and Distler and Kawai, using the derivation of their ansatz due to Mavromatos and Miramontes, and D’Hoker and Kurzepa. New super-selection rules are found by requiring SL(2,C) invariance of correlation functions on the plane. There is no analo...
متن کاملChiral Gravity in Three Dimensions
Three dimensional Einstein gravity with negative cosmological constant −1/l2 deformed by a gravitational Chern-Simons action with coefficient 1/μ is studied in an asymptotically AdS3 spacetime. It is argued to violate unitary or positivity for generic μ due to negativeenergy massive gravitons. However at the critical value μl = 1, the massive gravitons disappear and BTZ black holes all have mas...
