We study field theory models in the context of a gravitational theory based on the requirement that the measure of integration in the action is not necessarily \sqrt{-g} but it is determined dynamically through additional degrees of…

We investigate four-fermion interactions with $N$-component fermion in Einstein universe for arbitrary space-time dimensions ($2 \leq D<4$). It is found that the effective potential for composite operator $\overline{\psi}\psi$ is calculable…

We derive the one-loop beta functions for a theory of gravity with generic action containing up to four derivatives. The calculation is done in arbitrary dimension and on an arbitrary background. The special cases of three, four, near four,…

We provide a novel model of gravity by using adjoint frame fields in four dimensions. It has a natural interpretation as a gravitational theory of a complex metric field, which describes interactions between two real metrics. The classical…
