Towers of Gravitational Theories
Walter D. Goldberger and Ira Z. Rothstein Dept. of Physics, Yale University, New Haven CT 06520, USA Dept. of Physics, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh PA 15213, USA Abstract In this essay we introduce a theoretical framework designed to describe black hole dynamics. The difficulties in understanding such dynamics stems from the proliferation of scales involved when one attempts to simult...
متن کاملSuperrenormalizable Gauge and Gravitational Theories
We investigate 4-dim gauge theories and gravitational theories with nonpolynomial actions containing an infinite series in covariant derivatives of the fields representing the expansion of a transcendental entire function. A class of entire functions is explicitly constructed such that: (i) the theory is perturbatively superrenormalizable; (ii) no (gauge-invariant) unphysical poles are introduc...
متن کاملExploring gravitational theories beyond Horndeski
We have recently proposed a new class of gravitational scalar-tensor theories free from Ostrogradski instabilities, in Ref. [1]. As they generalize Horndeski theories, or “generalized” galileons, we call them G. These theories possess a simple formulation when the time hypersurfaces are chosen to coincide with the uniform scalar field hypersurfaces. We confirm that they contain only three propa...
متن کاملGravitational Dressing of Massive Soliton Theories
The massive soliton theories describe integrable perturbations of WZW cosets as generalized multi-component sine-Gordon models. We study their coupling to 2-dim gravity in the conformal gauge and show that the resulting models can be interpreted as conformal non-Abelian Toda theories when a certain algebraic condition is satisfied. These models, however, do not provide quantum mechanically cons...
متن کاملExact Cosmological Solutions of Gravitational Theories
A global picture is drawn tying together most exact cosmological solutions of gravitational theories in four or more spacetime dimensions.
