We propose a new model in the teleparallel framework where we consider a scalar field nonminimally coupled to both the torsion $T$ and a boundary term given by the divergence of the torsion vector $B=\frac{2}{e}\partial_\mu (eT^\mu)$. This…
In general relativity (GR), the metric tensor of spacetime is essential since it represents the gravitational potential. In other gauge theories (such as electromagnetism), the so-called premetric approach succeeds in separating the purely…
The tensor hierarchy of maximal supergravity in D dimensions is known to be closely related to a Borcherds (super)algebra that is constructed from the global symmetry group E(11-D). We here explain how the Borcherds algebras in different…
We study (non-abelian) extensions of a given super Lie algebra, identify a cohomological obstruction to the existence, parallel to the known one for Lie algebras. An analogy to the setting of covariant exterior derivatives, curvature, and…
Among the usual constraints of (1,1) supergravity in d=2 the condition of vanishing bosonic torsion is dropped. Using the inverse supervierbein and the superconnection considerably simplifies the formidable computational problems. It allows…
The Teleparallel Theory is equivalent to General Relativity, but whereas in the latter gravity has to do with curvature, in the former gravity is described by torsion. As is well known, there is in the literature a host of alternative…
By Torelli topology the author understands aspects of the topology of surfaces (potentially) relevant to the study of Torelli groups. The extension problem in Torelli topology is the problem of determining when a diffeomorphism of compact…
There is a growing interest in modified gravity theories based on torsion, as these theories exhibit interesting cosmological implications. In this work, inspired by the teleparallel formulation of general relativity, we present its…
This study explores the extension of teleparallel gravity within the framework of general relativity, introducing an algebraic function $f(T)$ dependent on the torsion scalar $T$. Motivated by the teleparallel formulation, we investigate…
A geometry of superspace corresponding to double field theory is developed, with type II supergravity in D=10 as the main example. The formalism is based on an orthosymplectic extension OSp(d,d|2s) of the continuous T-duality group.…
It is well known that the field equations of teleparallel theory which is equivalent to general relativity (TEGR) completely agree with the field equation of general relativity (GR). However, TEGR has six extra degrees of freedom which…
Let $\mathfrak{L}$ be a Leibniz algebra, $E$ a vector space and $\pi : E \to \mathfrak{L}$ an epimorphism of vector spaces with $ \mathfrak{g} = {\rm Ker} (\pi)$. The global extension problem asks for the classification of all Leibniz…
We present a scheme of biquaternionic algebrodymamics based on a nonlinear generalization of the Cauchy-Riemann holomorphy conditions considered therein as fundamental field equations. The automorphism group SO(3,C) of the biquaternion…
We report a new internal gauge symmetry of the n-dimensional Palatini action with cosmological term (n>3) that is the generalization of three-dimensional local translations. This symmetry is obtained through the direct application of the…
Certain many-particle Hardy inequalities are derived in a simple and systematic way using the so-called ground state representation for the Laplacian on a subdomain of $\mathbb{R}^n$. This includes geometric extensions of the standard Hardy…
This paper looks at how changes of coordinates on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold induce homogeneous linear transformations on its tangent spaces. We see that a pseudo-orthonormal frame in a given tangent space is the basis for a set of…
We introduce a framework to define coalgebra and bialgebra structures on two-dimensional (2D) square lattices, extending the algebraic theory of Hopf algebras and quantum groups beyond the one-dimensional (1D) setting. Our construction is…
We show that general relativity can be viewed as a higher gauge theory involving a categorical group, or 2-group, called the teleparallel 2-group. On any semi-Riemannian manifold M, we first construct a principal 2-bundle with the Poincare…
In this work we present a gauge-invariant three-dimensional teleparallel supergravity theory using the Chern-Simons formalism. The present construction is based on a supersymmetric extension of a particular deformation of the Poincar\'e…
Motivated by well-known obstacles to quantum gravity, I look for the most general geometrodynamical symmetries compatible with a reduced physical configuration space for metric gravity. I argue that they lead either to a completely static…
