Lecture Notes on Chern-simons (super-)gravities
This is intended to be a broad introduction to Chern-Simons gravity and supergravity. The motivation for these theories lies in the desire to have a gauge invariant system –with a fiber bundle formulation– in more than three dimensions, which could provide a firm ground for constructing a quantum theory of the gravitational field. The starting point is a gravitational action which generalizes t...
متن کاملConformal Galilei groups, Veronese curves, and Newton-Hooke spacetimes
Finite-dimensional nonrelativistic conformal Lie algebras spanned by polynomial vector fields of Galilei spacetime arise if the dynamical exponent is z = 2/N with N = 1, 2, . . . . Their underlying group structure and matrix representation are constructed (up to a covering) by means of the Veronese map of degree N . Suitable quotients of the conformal Galilei groups provide us with Newton-Hooke...
متن کاملA new Lie algebra expansion method: Galilei expansions to Poincaré and Newton–Hooke
We modify a Lie algebra expansion method recently introduced for the (2 + 1)dimensional kinematical algebras so as to work for higher dimensions. This new improved and geometrical procedure is applied to expanding the (3 + 1)-dimensional Galilei algebra and leads to its physically meaningful ‘expanded’ neighbours. One expansion gives rise to the Poincaré algebra, introducing a curvature −1/c in...
متن کاملStringy Chern classes
Work of Dixon, Harvey, Vafa and Witten in the 80’s ([DHVW85]) introduced a notion of Euler characteristic (for quotients of a torus by a finite group) which became known as the physicist’s orbifold Euler number. In the 90’s V. Batyrev introduced a notion of stringy Euler number ([Bat99b]) for ‘arbitrary Kawamata log-terminal pairs’, proving that this number agrees with the physicist’s orbifold ...
متن کامل2 00 9 Couplings between Chern - Simons gravities and 2 p - branes
The interaction between Chern-Simons (CS) theories and localized external sources (2pbranes) is analyzed. The generally covariant, gauge-invariant and background independent interactions generalize the minimal coupling between a point charge (0-brane) and a gauge connection. The branes define covariantly conserved external currents which couple to CS forms of the same dimension. The general exp...
