The first results presented in our article are the clear definitions of both intrinsic and extrinsic discrete curvatures in terms of holonomy and plane-angle representation, a clear relation with their deficit angles, and their clear…
We consider the Bianchi identity as a field equation for the distortion of the shapes of images produced by weak gravitational lensing. Using the spin coefficient formalism of Newman and Penrose [1962], we show that certain complex…
The (twice-contracted) second Bianchi identity is a differential curvature identity that holds on any smooth manifold with a metric. In the case when such a metric is Lorentzian and solves Einstein's equations with an (in this case…
Simplicial lattices provide an elegant framework for discrete spacetimes. The inherent orthogonality between a simplicial lattice and its circumcentric dual yields an austere representation of spacetime which provides a conceptually simple…
We prove an identity on a graph analogous to Bochner's identity on a Riemannian manifold. An auxiliary graph called the complete tangent graph intervenes in the term corresponding to Ricci curvature.
The deformation equation and its integrability condition (Bianchi identity) of a non-associative deformation in operad algebra are found. Their relation to the theory of gravity is discussed.
We show that all algebraic Type-O, Type-N and Type-D and some Kundt-Type solutions of Topologically Massive Gravity are inherited by its holographically well-defined deformation, that is the recently found Minimal Massive Gravity. This…
A Palatini-type action for Einstein and Gauss-Bonnet gravity with non-trivial torsion is proposed. Three-form flux is incorporated via a deformation of the Riemann tensor, and consistency of the Palatini variational principle requires the…
The Bianchi identities for bosonic fluxes in supergravity can receive higher derivative quantum and string corrections, the most well known being that of Heterotic theory $d H = \tfrac{1}{4}\alpha'(\text{tr } F^2 - \text{tr } R^2)$. Less…
Curvature properties of a metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion are investigated. It is shown that if either the 3-form $T$ is harmonic, $dT=\delta T=0$ or the curvature of the torsion connection $R\in S^2\Lambda^2$ then the…
Theories of $f(T)$ gravity are being actively confronted with cosmological observations, and are being studied for their potential to solve famous problems of cosmology. A necessary step is to extend these studies to astrophysical settings.…
We prove the theorem: The second order quasi-linear differential operator as a second rank divergence free tensor in the equation of motion for gravitation could always be derived from the trace of the Bianchi derivative of the fourth rank…
We show how DG categories arise naturally in noncommutative differential geometry and use them to derive noncommutative analogues of the Bianchi identities for the curvature of a connection. We also give a derivation of formulae for…
We introduce the linear connection in the noncommutative geometry model of the product of continuous manifold and the discrete space of two points. We discuss its metric properties, define the metric connection and calculate the curvature.…
This paper is devoted to investigate the exact solutions of Bianchi type $I$ spacetime in the context of $f(R,T)$ gravity [1], where $f(R,T)$ is an arbitrary function of Ricci scalar $R$ and trace of the energy momentum tensor $T$. For this…
In this paper, we deduce a Bochner-type identity for compact gradient Einstein-type manifolds with boundary. As consequence, we are able to show a rigidity result for Einstein-type manifolds assuming the parallel Ricci curvature condition.…
We provide an intrinsic formulation of the noncommutative differential geometry developed earlier by Chaichian, Tureanu, R. B. Zhang and the second author. This yields geometric definitions of covariant derivatives of noncommutative metrics…
We give an elegant formulation of the structure equations (of Cartan) and the Bianchi identities in terms of exterior calculus without reference to a particular basis and without the exterior covariant derivative. This approach allows both…
This paper is devoted to investigate the exact solutions of Bianchi types I and V spacetimes in the context of f(R, T) gravity [1]. For this purpose, we found two exact solutions in each case by using assumption of constant deceleration…
This paper is a continuation of arXiv:0809.1158, dealing with a general, not-necessarily torsion-free, connection. It characterizes all possible systems of generators for vector-field valued operators that depend naturally on a set of…
