We construct a gauge theory based on general nonlinear Lie algebras. The generic form of ‘dilaton’ gravity is derived from nonlinear Poincaré algebra, which exhibits a gauge-theoretical origin of the non-geometric scalar field in two-dimensional gravitation theory.

A topological gravity is obtained by twisting the effective (2, 0) supergravity. We show that this topological gravity has an infinite number of BRST invariant quantities with conformal weight 0. They are a tower of OSp(2, 2) multiplets and satisfy the classical exchange algebra of OSp(2, 2). We argue that these BRST invariant quantities become physical operators in the quantum theory and their...
