Dirac matrices for Chern-Simons gravity

Abstract: A genuine gauge theory for the Poincaré, de Sitter or anti-de Sitter algebras can be constructed in (2n − 1)-dimensional spacetime by means of the Chern-Simons form, yielding a gravitational theory that differs from General Relativity but shares many of its properties, such as second order field equations for the metric. The particular form of the Lagrangian is determined by a rank n, symmetric tensor invariant under the relevant algebra. In practice, the calculation of this invariant tensor can be reduced to … Show more

“…With those transformations defined, it is possible to write down a gauge invariant theory. The definition of transgression and CS forms for FDA1 can be found by studying the corresponding Chern-Weil theorem [34,40,41]. Let A = A A , A i be a set of gauge fields composed by a one-form and a p-form.…”
