We present a simple group representation analysis of massive, and particularly ``partially massless'', fields of arbitrary spin in de Sitter spaces of any dimension. The method uses bulk to boundary propagators to relate these fields to…
We study branes residing in infinite volume space and of finite extent in the transverse directions. We calculate the graviton propagator in the harmonic gauge both inside and outside the brane and discuss its dependence on the thickness of…
In this thesis massive higher derivative gravity theories are analyzed in some detail. One-particle scattering amplitude between two covariantly conserved sources mediated by a graviton exchange is found at tree-level in $D$ dimensional…
Within the framework of ${\mathcal N}=1$ anti-de Sitter (AdS) supersymmetry in four dimensions, we derive superspin projection operators (or superprojectors). For a tensor superfield $\mathfrak{V}_{\alpha(m)\dot{\alpha} (n)} :=…
We give a definition of mass for spacelike hypersurfaces in space-times with metrics which are asymptotic to the anti-de Sitter one, or to a class of generalizations thereof. We present the results of gr-qc/0110014 which show that our…
For there is always a wrong sign in the mass of graviton in the so-called perturbation expansion approximation of both Minkowski and de Sitter spacetimes, the existence of gravitational wave from the metric perturbation of de Sitter…
Arbitrary spin free massless bosonic fields propagating in even $d$ - dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime are investigated. Free wave equations of motion, subsidiary conditions and the corresponding gauge transformations for such fields…
The divergences of the gravitational action are analyzed for spacetimes that are asymptotically anti-de Sitter and asymptotically flat. The gravitational action is rendered finite using a local counterterm prescription, and the relation of…
We discuss the cosmological amplification of tensor perturbations in a simple example of brane-world scenario, in which massless gravitons are localized on a higher-dimensional Kasner-like brane embedded in a bulk AdS background. Particular…
In this review, we summarize recent findings that show how standard 4-d Einstein gravity coupled to a conformal field theory can become massive in Anti de Sitter Space. Key ingredients in this phenomenon are non-standard ``transparent''…
Properties of Green's functions may be derived in either first or second quantisation. We illustrate this with a factorisation property for propagators in arbitrary spacetimes, and apply it to scalar fields in AdS space.
In this work, we study the higher-derivative massive gravity in $D$-dimensional space-time with the mass term arisen due to a 2-brane embedded in a $4D$ Minkowski spacetime. We consider the effect of a resonance mass term from the DGP…
I argue against the widespread notion that manifest de Sitter invariance on the full de Sitter manifold is either useful or even attainable in gauge theories. Green's functions and propagators computed in a de Sitter invariant gauge are…
The concept of gravitons and their masses, clear in the case of Minkowski spacetime, remains ambiguous for de Sitter spacetime. Here, we used a two-fluid approach to de Sitter thermodynamics and found a collective mode that is analogous to…
The masslessness of gluons due to gauge invariance appears to be contradictory with the observed massive structures of hadrons. As a dual process of gauge transformation, we have to fix the gauge to quantize the gluons in order to get…
Arbitrary spin free massless fermionic fields corresponding to mixed symmetry representations of the \hbox{$SO(d-1)$} compact group and propagating in even $d$-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime are investigated. Free wave equations of…
We consider a time-dependent $\mathcal{O}(1/G)$ deformation of pure de Sitter (dS) space in dS gravity coupled to a massless scalar field. It is the dS counterpart of the AdS Janus deformation and interpolates two asymptotically dS spaces…
We present two different versions of the consistent theory of massive gravitons in arbitrary spacetimes which are simple enough for practical applications. The theory is described by a non-symmetric rank-2 tensor whose equations of motion…
We first-quantize the superparticle describing free 10D IIB supergravity on AdS_5xS^5. We choose the worldline coordinate to be a combination of the bulk (spatial) coordinates of anti de Sitter space and the sphere. The Hamiltonian is…
The propagators of the Dirac fermions are studied in the configuration representation on the expanding portion of the $(1+3)$-dimensional de Sitter spacetime considering a fixed vacuum of Bunch-Davies type. In this representation the method…
