Local gravitational supersymmetry of Chern-Simons theory in the vielbein formalism
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the Chern-Simons theory in three-dimensional curved space-time in the vielbein formalism. Due to the additional presence of the local Lorentz symmetry, beside the diffeomorphisms, we will include a local gravitational supersymmetry (superdiffeomorphisms and super-Lorentz transformations), which allows us to show the perturbative finiteness at all orders.

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 کاملSuper Virasoro Algebras From Chiral Supergravity
In this note, we construct Noether charges for the chiral supergravity, which contains the Lorentz Chern–Simons term, by applying Wald’s prescription to the vielbein formalism. We investigate the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence by using the vielbein formalism. The asymptotic symmetry group is carefully examined by taking into account the local Lorentz transformation, and we construct super Virasoro al...
متن کاملGravity in the 3+1-Split Formalism II: Self-Duality and the Emergence of the Gravitational Chern-Simons in the Boundary
We study self-duality in the context of the 3+1-split formalism of gravity with non-zero cosmological constant. Lorentzian self-dual configurations are conformally flat spacetimes and have boundary data determined by classical solutions of the three-dimensional gravitational Chern-Simons. For Euclidean self-dual configurations, the relationship between their boundary initial positions and initi...
