Topologically Massive Gauge Theories
TLDR
In this article, the authors studied the effects of topological properties on the masses of the gauge fields in three-dimensional space-time, where novel, gauge invariant, P and T odd terms of topology origin give rise to masses for the gauge field.About:

Quantum Gravity at a Lifshitz Point
TL;DR: In this article, a quantum field theory of gravity with dynamical critical exponent equal to $z = 3$ in the UV is presented. But this theory is restricted to satisfy the condition of detailed balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical Aspects of Massive Gravity
TL;DR: Recently, the possibility of a massive graviton has seen a resurgence of interest due to recent progress which has overcome its traditional problems, yielding an avenue for addressing important open questions such as the cosmological constant naturalness problem as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Massive Gravity
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent progress in massive gravity is presented, showing how different theories of massive gravity emerge from a higher-dimensional theory of general relativity, leading to the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model, cascading gravity and ghost-free massive gravity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Massive Gravity in Three Dimensions
TL;DR: The extension to massive N-extended supergravity is discussed, the "cosmological" extension that admits an anti-de Sitter vacuum is presented, and a more general model propagates the two spin-2 helicity states with different masses.

Three-Dimensional Gravity Revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of identifying the CFT's that may be dual to pure gravity in three dimensions with negative cosmological constant and show that the dual CFT is very likely the monster theory of Frenkel, Lepowsky, and Meurman.

Renormalization of Higher Derivative Quantum Gravity
TL;DR: The necessary Slavnov identities are derived from Becchi-Rouet-Stora (BRS) transformations of the gravitational and Faddeev-Popov ghost fields.

Vortex Line Models for Dual Strings
Holger Bech Nielsen,Poul Olesen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a Higgs type of Lagrangian allows for vortex-line solutions, in analogy with the vortex lines in a type II superconductor.
Journal ArticleDOI
QCD and instantons at finite temperature
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a topological classification of finite-energy, periodic fields and the classical solutions which minimize the action in each topological sector are examined and the effects of instantons can be reliably calculated at sufficiently high temperature.

A new proof of the positive energy theorem
TL;DR: In this article, a new proof of the positive energy theorem of classical general relativity was given and it was shown that there are no asymptotically Euclidean gravitational instantons.
