On the Relevance of Singular Solutions in dS 3 and AdS 3 Gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
Canonical quantization of three dimensional gravity in the first order formalism suggests that one should allow singular solutions. This paper addresses the importance of singular solutions in the path integral approach to quantum gravity. Using a simple ansatz for the dreibein and the spin connection in the de-Sitter and the anti-de-Sitter spaces we propose that the sum over the 3D manifolds in the path integral should be extended to include 2D surfaces. PACS: 04.20.-q , 04.60.-m

Asymptotically de Sitter dilatonic space - time , holographic RG flow and conformal anomaly from ( dilatonic ) dS / CFT correspondence
The number of asymptotically de Sitter (non-singular) solutions of 5d dilatonic gravity with positive cosmological constant is found. These solutions are similar to the previously known asymptotically AdS spaces where dilaton may generate the singularity. Using these solutions the consistent c-function is proposed in the same way as in AdS/CFT. The consistency of RG flow gives further support f...

متن کاملNon-singular Brane cosmology with a Kalb-Ramond field
We present a model in which a 3-brane is embedded in a warped 5-dimensional background with a dilaton and a Kalb-Ramond 2-form. We show that it is possible to find static solutions of the form of charged dS/AdS-like black hole which could have a negative mass parameter. The motion of the 3-brane in this bulk generates an effective 4-dimensional bouncing cosmology induced by the negative dark ra...
متن کاملIntersecting membranes in AdS and Lovelock gravity
Colliding and intersecting thin membranes of matter are studied in the Lovelock higher order curvature theory of gravity. We restrict the study to constant curvature membranes in constant curvature AdS and dS background and consider their general intersections. This illustrates some key features which make the higher Lovelock theory different to the Einstein gravity. Lovelock terms couple hyper...
متن کاملCurvature Singularities: the Good, the Bad, and the Naked
Necessary conditions are proposed for the admissibility of singular classical solutions with 3 + 1-dimensional Poincaré invariance to five-dimensional gravity coupled to scalars. Finite temperature considerations and examples from AdS/CFT support the conjecture that the scalar potential must remain bounded above for a solution to be physical. Having imposed some restrictions on naked singularit...
