A manifestly gauge invariant formulation of the coupling of the Maxwell theory with an Einstein Cartan geometry is given, where the space time torsion originates from a massless Kalb-Ramond field augmented by suitable U(1) Chern Simons…
The effects of introducing a harmonic spatial inhomogeneity into the Kalb-Ramond field, interacting with the Maxwell field according to a `string-inspired' proposal made in earlier work are investigated. We examine in particular the effects…
Following up on a recent paper by two of us (DM and SS), demonstrating the large enhancement in observable optical activity in radiation from high redshift sources arising from the string-based coupling of bulk Kalb-Ramond field to the…
Gravitational wave physics can probe theories that extend beyond General Relativity. Motivated by the attention on the Kalb-Ramond field as a dark matter candidate, in this work, we study a parity violating dimension four operator which…
A spacetime with torsion produced by a Kalb-Ramond field coupled gravitationally to the Maxwell field, in accordance with a recent proposal by two of us (PM and SS), is argued to lead to an optical activity in synchrotron radiation from…
The possibility of parity violation through spacetime torsion has been explored in a scenario containing fields with different spins. Taking the Kalb-Ramond field as the source of torsion, an explicitly parity violating $U(1)_{EM}$ gauge…
Optical activity of electromagnetic waves in a string inspired Kalb-Ramond cosmological background is studied in presence of extra spacetime dimension. The Kalb-Ramond-electromagnetic coupling which originates from the gauge anomaly…
The possibility of parity violation in a gravitational theory with torsion is extensively explored in four and higher dimensions. In the former case,we have listed our conclusions on when and whether parity ceases to be conserved, with both…
Electromagnetic and (linearized) gravitational interactions of the Kalb-Ramond (KR) field, derived from an underlying ten dimensional heterotic string in the zero slope limit, are studied in a five dimensional background Randall-Sundrum I…
We propose to develop the Kalb-Ramond theory in four-dimensional spacetime at the level of a classical field theory by following the same formal development steps as in Maxwell theory of standard electrodynamics. Solutions of Kalb-Ramond…
In the present paper, we explore the possible effects of a second rank antisymmetric tensor field, known as Kalb-Ramond (KR) field, on cosmological particle production as well as on quantum entanglement for a massive scalar field…
Purely time dependent solutions in four-dimensional Einstein-Cartan-Kalb-Ramond (ECKR) theory of gravity are shown not to be possible leading to a trivial vanishing of all Kalb-Ramond fields. This result seems to contradict previously…
Parity violating extensions of the standard electromagnetic theory cause in vacuo rotation of the plane of polarization of propagating photons. This effect, also known as cosmic birefringence, impacts the cosmic microwave background (CMB)…
This work investigates the implications of very special relativity (VSR) on the calculation of vacuum polarization for fermions in the presence of Maxwell and Kalb-Ramond gauge fields in four-dimensional spacetime. We derive the…
We study a model of interacting vector and Kalb-Ramond gauge fields in a non-trivial Higgs vacuum generated by a charged and a neutral scalar field. The system admits different vacua for different v.e.v. of the two Higgs fields. Our primary…
We provide various aspects of second rank antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond (KR) field in modified theories of gravity. The KR field energy density is found to decrease with the expansion of our universe at a faster rate in comparison to radiation…
One of the important open questions in high-energy physics is to understand the lack of evidence of Kalb-Ramond (KR) field, in particular in the present day cosmology. In this paper we aim to address this issue by showing that a bounce…
We study symmetry of space-time in presence of a minimally coupled scalar field interacting with a Kalb--Ramond tensor fields in a homogeneous but initially anisotropic universe. The analysis is performed for the two relevant cases of a…
We present here a manifestly gauge invariant calculation of vacuum polarization to fermions in the presence of a constant Maxwell and a constant Kalb-Ramond field in four dimensions. The formalism is a generalisation of the one used by…
In this thesis, we aim to find the asymptotic symmetries of the Kalb-Ramond field in four dimensions at future null infinity. We start by reviewing the asymptotic symmetries of electrodynamics in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime at…
