In this note we try to prove the absence of the ghosts in case of the general non-linear massive gravity action in Stuckelberg formalism. We argue that in order to find the explicit form of the Hamiltonian it is natural to start with the…

{\sl A Hamiltonian framework for 2+1 dimensional gravity coupled with matter (satisfying positive energy conditions) is considered in the asymptotically flat context. It is shown that the total energy of the system is non-negative,…

We present a generally-covariant and parity-invariant "zwei-dreibein" action for gravity in three space-time dimensions that propagates two massive spin-2 modes, unitarily, and we use Hamiltonian methods to confirm the absence of unphysical…

A straightforward method to compute Hamilton's density for theories that are linear in the spacetime curvature is provided. It is shown that the lapse function and shift vector still give rise to primary constraints, while the induced…

Integrable models of dilaton gravity coupled to electromagnetic and scalar matter fields in dimensions 1+1 and 0+1 are briefly reviewed. The 1+1 dimensional integrable models are either solved in terms of explicit quadratures or reduced to…

It was recently found that, when linearised in the absence of matter, 58 cases of the general gravitational theory with quadratic curvature and torsion are (i) free from ghosts and tachyons and (ii) power-counting renormalisable. We inspect…

We study the constraint structure of Fierz -Pauli action in both flat and curved space in the framework of Hamiltonian formalism. We observe an abrupt change in the constraint algebra and the characteristics of the constraints when the mass…

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…

In this paper we study the supermultiplet structure of $\mathcal{N}=(1,1)$ General Massive Supergravity at non-critical and critical points of its parameter space. To do this, we first linearize the theory around its maximally…

A generalization of two recently proposed general relativity Hamiltonians, to the case of a general (d+1)-dimensional dilaton gravity theory in a manifold with a timelike or spacelike outer boundary, is presented.

A number of approaches to gravitation have much in common with the gauge theories of the standard model of particle physics. In this paper, we develop the Hamiltonian formulation of a class of gravitational theories that may be regarded as…

Several investigations in the study of cosmological structure formation use numerical simulations in both two and three dimensions. In this paper we address the subtle question of ambiguities in the nature of two dimensional gravity in an…

It is known that one can formulate an action in teleparallel gravity which is equivalent to general relativity, up to a boundary term. In this geometry we have vanishing curvature, and non-vanishing torsion. The action is constructed by…

Lie-Poisson gauge formalism provides a semiclassical description of noncommutative $U(1)$ gauge theory with Lie algebra type noncommutativity. Using the Dirac approach to constrained Hamiltonian systems, we focus on a class of Lie-Poisson…

In this paper, an attempt is made to represent 5+1 dimensional gravity (via ADM formalism) in terms of the loop constructions introduced by the author in a companion paper. The "momenta" and "velocity" from the earlier paper, which were…

When tetrad (metric) fields are not invertible, the standard canonical formulation of gravity cannot be adopted as it is. Here we develop a Hamiltonian theory of gravity for non-invertible tetrad. In contrast to Einstein gravity, this phase…

We discuss the interplay between direct constraints on non-Newtonian gravity and particle-physics bounds in models with large extra dimensions. Existing and future bounds and the most effective ways of further testing these models in…

In this work we study the theory of linearized gravity via the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism. We make a brief review of this theory and its Lagrangian description, as well as a review of the Hamilton-Jacobi approach for singular systems. Then…

Inspired by a recent ghost-free nonlinear massive gravity in four-dimensional spacetime, we study its higher dimensional scenarios. As a result, we are able to show the constant-like behavior of massive graviton terms for some well-known…

We consider the problem of (1+1)-dimensional quantum gravity coupled to particles. Working with the canonically reduced Hamiltonian, we obtain its post-Newtonian expansion for two identical particles. We quantize the (1+1)-dimensional…
