Multi-graviton theory in vierbein formalism
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, multi-graviton theory on a simple closed circuit graph corresponding to the S compactification of the Kaluza-Klein (KK) theory has been considered. In the present paper, we extend this theory to that on a general graph and study what modes of particles are included. Furthermore, we generalize it in a possible non-linear theory based on the vierbein formalism and study cosmological solutions.

SL(2,C) Gravity with Complex Vierbein and its Noncommutative Extension
We show that it is possible to formulate gravity with a complex vierbein based on SL(2,C) gauge invariance. The proposed action is a four-form where the metric is not introduced but results as a function of the complex vierbein. This formulation is based on the first order formalism. The novel feature here is that integration of the spin-connection gauge field gives rise to kinetic terms for a ...

متن کاملProduct CFTs, gravitational cloning, massive gravitons and the space of gravitational duals
The question of graviton cloning in the context of the bulk/boundary correspondence is considered. It is shown that multi-graviton theories can be obtained from products of large-N CFTs. No more than one interacting massless graviton is possible. There can be however, many interacting massive gravitons. This is achieved by coupling CFTs via multi-trace marginal or relevant perturbations. The ge...
متن کاملSpatially Covariant Theories of a Transverse, Traceless Graviton: Formalism
General relativity is a generally covariant, locally Lorentz covariant theory of two transverse, traceless graviton degrees of freedom. According to a theorem of Hojman, Kucharˇ, and Teitelboim, modifications of general relativity must either introduce new degrees of freedom or violate the principle of local Lorentz covariance. In this paper, we explore modifications of general relativity that ...
متن کاملMatrix Gravity and Massive Colored Gravitons
We formulate a theory of gravity with a matrix-valued complex vierbein based on the SL(2N,C)⊗SL(2N,C) gauge symmetry. The theory is metric independent, and before symmetry breaking all fields are massless. The symmetry is broken spontaneously and all gravitons corresponding to the broken generators acquire masses. If the symmetry is broken to SL(2,C) then the spectrum would correspond to one ma...
