Poincaré Gauge Theories for Lineal Gravity
We have shown that two of the most studied models of lineal gravities – Liouville gravity and a “string-inspired” model exhibiting the main characteristic features of a black-hole solution – can be formulated as gauge invariant theories of the Poincaré group. The gauge invariant couplings to matter (particles, scalar and spinor fields) and explicit solutions for some matter field configurations...
متن کاملLectures on W - Gravity , W - Geometry and W - Strings ⋆
Classical W-gravities and the corresponding quantum theories are reviewed. W-gravities are higher-spin gauge theories in two dimensions whose gauge algebras are W-algebras. The geometrical structure of classical W-gravity is investigated, leading to surprising connections with self-dual and special geometry. The anomalies that arise in quantum W-gravity are discussed, with particular attention ...
متن کاملGauging Wess-zumino-witten Models
We review some aspects of gauged WZW models. By choosing a solvable subgroup as gauge group, one is lead to three main applications: the construction of field theories with an extended conformal symmetry, the construction of the effective action of (extended) 2D gravities and the systematic construction of string theories with some extended gauge symmetry.
متن کاملLax Pair Formulation of the W-gravity Theories in Two Dimensions
The Lax pair formulation of the two dimensional induced gravity in the light-cone gauge is extended to the more general wN theories. After presenting the w2 and w3 gravities, we give a general prescription for an arbitrary wN case. This is further illustrated with the w4 gravity to point out some peculiarities. The constraints and the possible presence of the cosmological constants are systemat...
متن کاملStandard and Generalized Newtonian Gravities as “gauge” Theories of the Extended Galilei Group - I: the Standard Theory
Newton’s standard theory of gravitation is reformulated as a gauge theory of the extended Galilei Group. The Action principle is obtained by matching the gauge technique and a suitable limiting procedure from the ADM-De Witt action of general relativity coupled to a relativistic mass-point.
