We construct Kaluza--Klein-type models with a de Sitter or Minkowski bundle in the de Sitter or Poincar\'e gauge theory of gravity, respectively. A manifestly gauge-invariant formalism has been given. The gravitational dynamics is…
Taking into account the Green-Schwarz anomaly counterterm in R-symmetry gauged $N=(1,0)$ supergravity in six dimensions, and the associated modification in the Maxwell kinetic term and potential, we observe that the theory admits…
We generalize the Galileon symmetry and its relativistic extension to a de Sitter background. This is made possible by studying a probe-brane in a flat five-dimensional bulk using a de Sitter slicing. The generalized Lovelock invariants…
We construct a positive constant curvature space by identifying some points along a Killing vector in a de Sitter Space. This space is the counterpart of the three-dimensional Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution in higher dimensions. This…
The classical Minkowski inequality in the Euclidean space provides a lower bound on the total mean curvature of a hypersurface in terms of the surface area, which is optimal on round spheres. In this paper we employ a locally constrained…
In this paper, we investigate the geometry of compact spacelike biconservative hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in de Sitter space $\mathbb{S}_1^{m+1}(c)$, under some geometric constraints. Our results extend the understanding…
Different forms of the metric for the Kerr-NUT-(anti-)de Sitter space-time are being widely used in its extension to higher dimensions. The purpose of this note is to relate the parameters that are being used to the physical parameters…
This is a pedagogic account of some of the global properties of Anti-de-Sitter spacetime with a view to their application to the AdS/CFT correspondence. Particular care is taken over the distinction between Anti-de-Sitter and it's covering…
We discuss and extend some aspects pertaining to the canonical quantisation of JT gravity in de Sitter space, including the problem of time and the construction of a Hilbert space. We then extend this discussion to other two dimensional…
With the exception of gravitation, the known fundamental interactions of Nature are mediated by gauge fields. A comparison of the candidate groups for a gauge theory possibly describing gravitation favours the Poincar\'e group as the…
Given a generic function $f(T)$ we construct in closed forms cylindrically symmetric static $n$-dimensional uncharged and charged de Sitter and anti-de Sitter solutions (including black holes, wormholes and possibly other regular solutions)…
We perform cosmological perturbation theory in Hassan-Rosen bimetric gravity for general homogeneous and isotropic backgrounds. In the de Sitter approximation, we obtain decoupled sets of massless and massive scalar gravitational…
Optical reference geometry and related concept of inertial forces are investigated in Kerr-de Sitter spacetimes. Properties of the inertial forces are summarized and their typical behaviour is illustrated. The intuitive 'Newtonian'…
Using Krasnov's formulation of General Relativity (GR), we develop a lightcone ansatz for self-dual gravity (along with linearized anti-self-dual perturbations) in the Poincare patch of de Sitter space. This amounts to a generalization of…
Einstein Gravity can be formulated as a gauge theory with the tangent space respecting the Lorentz symmetry. In this paper we show that the dimension of the tangent space can be larger than the dimension of the manifold and by requiring the…
The group theoretical approach to the relativistic wave equations in the de Sitter and Anti-de Sitter spaces for spin~0 and 1/2 massive particles is considered. The invariant wave equations which determines the appropriate irreducible…
We propose a theory of quantum gravity which formulates the quantum theory as a nonperturbative path integral, where each spacetime history appears with a weight given by the exponentiated Einstein-Hilbert action of the corresponding causal…
This is an elementary introduction to basic tools of supersymmetry: the spacetime symmetries, gauge theory and its application in gravity, spinors and superalgebras. Special attention is devoted to conformal and anti-de Sitter algebras.
In this work, we initiate the study of light-ray operators in four-dimensional de Sitter space focusing on null integrals of the stress tensor. In Minkowski space, the null integral of the stress tensor unifies several ostensibly different…
In this paper, we continue the study of the Killing symmetries of a N-dimensional generalized Minkowski space, i.e. a space endowed with a (in general non-diagonal) metric tensor, whose coefficients do depend on a set of non-metrical…
