Momentum and energy conservation are fundamental tenets of physics, that valid physical theories have to satisfy. In the reversible transformation between superconducting and normal phases in the presence of a magnetic field, the mechanical…
In this short paper, we prove a well-posedness theorem for the massive wave equation (with the mass satisfying the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound) on asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces. The solution is constructed as a limit of solutions to…
The gauge symmetry inherent in the concept of manifold has been discussed. Within the scope of this symmetry the linear connection or displacement field can be considered as a natural gauge field on the manifold. The gauge invariant…
We consider a warped brane world scenario with two branes, Gauss-Bonnet gravity in the bulk, and brane localised curvature terms. When matter is present on both branes, we investigate the linear equations of motion and distinguish three…
The stress-energy tensor of a matter shell whose history coincides with a null hypersurface in the Einstein-Cartan gravity is revisited. It is demonstrated that with a proper choice for the torsion discontinuity taken to be orthogonal to…
We briefly review of the definitions of the total energy, the total linear momentum and the angular momentum of gravitational field when the cosmological constant is zero. In particular, we show pseudo-tensor's definition of the energy and…
We analyze a broad class of stationary solutions with residual N=1 supersymmetry of four-dimensional N=2 supergravity theories with terms quadratic in the Weyl tensor. These terms are encoded in a holomorphic function, which determines the…
We obtain the most general static intersecting brane solutions by directly solving the relevant equations of motion analytically and in complete generality. These solutions reduce to the known ones in special cases, and contain further a…
In a previous paper, field theory in curved space was considered, and a formula that expresses the first order variation of correlation functions with respect to the external metric was postulated. The formula is given as an integral of the…
The N=1 self-dual supergravity has SL(2,C) and the left-handed and right -handed local supersymmetries. These symmetries result in SU(2) charges as the angular-momentum and the supercharges. The model possesses also the invariance under the…
We construct a string theory in three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space-time that is independent of the boundary metric. It is a topologically twisted theory of quantum gravity. We study string theories with an asymptotic N=2 superconformal…
We derive equations of motion for the tachyon field living on an unstable non-BPS D-brane in the level truncated open cubic superstring field theory in the first non-trivial approximation. We construct a special time dependent solution to…
We generalize the topological model recently proposed and investigate the cosmological perturbations of the model. The model has an exact de Sitter background solution associated with a Becchi-Rouet-Stora(BRS) quartet terms which are…
We study braneworlds in six-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. The Gauss-Bonnet term is crucial for the equations to be well-posed in six dimensions when non-trivial matter on the brane is included (the also involved induced gravity…
We examine the gravitational forces in a brane-world scenario felt by point particles on two 3-branes bounding a 5-dimensional AdS space with $S^{1}/Z_2$ symmetry. The particles are treated as perturbations on the vacuum metric and…
We investigate the post-Newtonian (PN) dynamics of energy-momentum squared gravity (EMSG), with particular emphasis on the possibility of self-acceleration in $N$-body systems. A central challenge in matter-type modified gravity theories,…
Static spherically-symmetric matter distributions whose energy-momentum tensor is characterized by a non-negative trace are studied analytically within the framework of general relativity. We prove that such field configurations are…
We show that the Gauss-Bonnet correction to Einstein gravity induces a gravitational tachyon mode, namely an unstable spin 2 fluctuation, in the Randall-Sundrum I model. We demonstrate that this instability is generically related to the…
We construct a set of conserved charges for asymptotically deSitter spacetimes that correspond to asymptotic conformal isometries. The charges are given by boundary integrals at spatial infinity in the flat cosmological slicing of deSitter.…
The field theoretical description of the general relativity (GR) is further developed. The action for the gravitational field and its sources is given explicitely. The equations of motion and the energy-momentum tensor for the gravitational…
