TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed the N = 6 conformal supergravity in three dimensions from a set of Chern-Simons-like terms one for each of the graviton, gravitino, and R-symmetry gauge field and then couple this theory to the n = 6 superconformal ABJM theory.
Abstract: In this paper we construct the N = 6 conformal supergravity in three dimensions from a set of Chern-Simons-like terms one for each of the graviton, gravitino, and R-symmetry gauge field and then couple this theory to the N = 6 superconformal ABJM theory. In a first step part of the coupled Lagrangian for this topologically gauged ABJM theory is derived by demanding that all terms of third and second order in covariant derivatives cancel in the supersymmtry variation of the Lagrangian. To achieve this the transformation rules of the two separate sectors must be augmented by new terms. In a second step we analyze all terms in delta L that are of first order in covariant derivatives. The cancelation of these terms require additional terms in the transformation rules as well as a number of new terms in the Lagrangian. As a final step we check that all remaining terms in dL which are bilinear in fermions cancel which means that the presented Lagrangian and transformation rules constitute the complete answer. In particular we find in the last step new terms in the scalar potential containing either one or no structure constant. The non-derivative higher fermion terms in delta L that have not yet been completely analyzed are briefly discussed in the Conclusions. A possible connection to chiral gravity is also mentioned there.

TL;DR: In this paper, the inflationary phenomenology of a non-minimally coupled Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity theory in the presence of a scalar potential, under the condition that the gravitational wave speed of the primordial gravitational waves is equal to unity, that is c T 2 = 1, in natural units.

TL;DR: A consistency relation connecting the running of the nonlinearity parameter characterizing the non-gaussianity and the scalar and tensor indices is presented, valid assuming that the throat geometry and scalar potential support power law inflation, regardless of the level of non-GAussianity.

TL;DR: In this article, the notions of mass and range of a Brans-Dicke-like scalar field in scalar-tensor and f(R) gravity are defined.
Abstract: The notions of mass and range of a Brans–Dicke-like scalar field in scalar–tensor and f(R) gravity are subject to an ambiguity that hides a potential trap. We spell out this ambiguity and identify a physically meaningful and practical definition for these quantities. This is relevant when giving a mass to this scalar in order to circumvent experimental limits on the PPN parameters coming from solar system experiments.
