It has been known for some time that topological geons in quantum gravity may lead to a complete violation of the canonical spin-statistics relation : there may exist no connection between spin and statistics for a pair of geons. We present…
We present a review of the spin and statistics of topological geons, particles in 3+1 quantum gravity. They can have half-odd-integral spin and fermionic statistics and since the underlying gravitational field is tensorial and bosonic, this…
We analyze (2+1)-dimensional gravity with a Chern--Simons term and a negative cosmological constant, primarily at the weak field level. The full theory is expressible as the sum of two higher derivative SL(2,R) "vector" Chern-Simons terms,…

The Gibbs measures of a spin system on $Z^d$ with unbounded pair interactions $J_{xy} \sigma (x) \sigma (y)$ are studied. Here $\langle x, y \rangle \in E $, i.e. $x$ and $y$ are neighbors in $Z^d$. The intensities $J_{xy}$ and the spins…
We prove upper bounds on angular momentum and centre of mass in terms of the Hamiltonian mass and cosmological constant for non-singular asymptotically anti-de Sitter initial data sets satisfying the dominant energy condition. We work in…
It is shown that topological massive gravity augmented by the triadic gravitational Chern-Simons first order term is a curved a pure spin-2 action. This model contains two massive spin-2 excitations. However, since its light-front energy is…
We present a geometric framework in which both metric and torsional degrees of freedom emerge dynamically from spinor currents, without being postulated as fundamental properties of the affine connection. The fundamental dynamical variable…
We present a 3-dimensional model for massive gravity with masses induced by topological (Chern-Simons) and Proca-like mass terms. Causality and unitarity are discussed at tree-level. Power-counting renormalizability is also contemplated.
We show that, in the weak field limit, at large separations, in sharp contrast to General Relativity (GR), all massive gravity theories predict distance-dependent spin alignments for spinning objects. For all separations GR requires…
We calculate the one loop partition function for topologically massive higher spin gravity (TMHSG) for arbitrary spin by taking the spin-3 TMHSG action constructed in arXiv:1107.0915 and subsequently generalising it for an arbitrary spin.…
The spin inertia measurement is a recently emerged tool to study slow spin dynamics, which is based on the excitation of the system by a train of circularly polarized pulses with alternating helicity. Motivated by the experimental results…
In this paper, we continue our investigation of gravitational interactions for massive higher spins extending our previous work on massive spin 3/2 and spin 2 to massive spin 5/2, including partially massless and massless limits. We use the…
In the framework of real 2-component spinors in three dimensional space-time we present a description of topologically massive gravity (TMG) in terms of differential forms with triad scalar coefficients. This is essentially a real version…

We present a new mass generation mechanism for linearized gravity in three spacetime dimensions, which consists of a lower-dimensional Chern-Simons-like term added to the invariant action. The propagators of the gauge fixed massive action…
In the context of holography, we analyse aspects of supersymmetric geometries based on two-dimensional orbifolds known as spindles. By analysing spin$^c$ spinors on a spindle with an azimuthal rotation symmetry we show that under rather…
The topological gap $\Delta = TP_{H_1}^{real} - TP_{H_1}^{shuf}$ -- the excess $H_1$ total persistence of the majority-spin alpha complex over a density-matched null -- encodes critical correlations in spin models. We establish finite-size…
We consider the dynamics of a self-gravitating spinor field and a self-gravitating rotating perfect fluid. It is shown that both these matter distributions can induce a vortex field described by the curl 4-vector of a tetrad: $\omega^i =…
