Quantum Gravity in D=5 Dimensions

We propose a topological Chern-Simons term in D=5 dimensions coupled to Einstein Hilbert theory. Hartree approximation for topological Lagrangian and the Chern-Simons term in D=3 is considered. An effective model of Quantum Gravity in D=5 dimensions is presented here. The analysis of residues is considered and the unitarity is guaranteed at tree level. The propagator is ghost and tachyon free.

New Solutions for Evolution of the Scale Factor with a Variable Cosmological Term

The cosmological term is assumed to be a function of time such as $Λ=Ba^{-2}$ where a(t) means the scale factor of standard cosmology. Analytical solutions for radiation dominated epoch and open universe are found. For closed universe, k=+1, and for flat universe, k=0, we show a numerical solution. In general the scenario of Big Bang is preserved in our case for the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology.

Non-Abelian Magnetic Monopoles in a Background of Gravitation with Fermions

The purpose of this paper is to study static solution configuration which describes the magnetic monopoles in a scenary where the gravitation is coupled with Higgs, Yang-Mills and fermions. We are looking for analysis of the energy functional and Bogomol'nyi equations. The Einstein equations now take into consideration the fermions' contribution for energy-momentum tensor. The interesting aspect here is to verify that the fermion field gives a contribution for non abelian magnetic field and for potential which minimise the energy functional.

Gödel Type solution with rotation, expansion and closed time-like curves

We propose a time-varying parameter $\underlineα$ for Gödel metric and an energy momentum tensor corresponding to this geometry is found. To satisfy covariance arguments time-varying gravitational and cosmological term are introduced. The ``Einstein's equation'' for this special evolution for the Universe are written down where expansion, rotation and closed time-like curves appear as a combination between standard model, Gödel and steady state properties are obtained.

Some Comments of Vlasov-Liouville Equation and its Relation with Gravitational Field

We discuss here the possibility to write the Liouville-Vlasov equation for the Wigner-function of a spinor field coupled to a gauge field with field strength tensor $F^{μν}$ in a curved space-time versus a local Lorentz manifold (introduction of local Lorentz coordinates) with an appropriate definition of a covariant derivative carried out using a spin connection $B_μ^{ab}(x)$.

Non-Parallel Electric and Magnetic Fields in a Gravitational Background, Stationary Gravitational Waves and Gravitons

The existence of an electromagnetic field with parallel electric and magnetic field components in the presence of a gravitational field is considered. A non-parallel solution is shown to exist. Next, we analyse the possibility of finding stationary gravitational waves in nature. Finally, we construct a D=4 effective quantum gravity model. Tree-level unitarity is verified.

Non Parallels Electric and Magnetic Fields in a F.R.W. Cosmology. Classical and Quantum Gravitational Implications

At first, we discuss parallels electric and magnetic fields solutions in a gravitational background. Then, considering eletromagnetic and gravitational waves symmetries we show a particular solution for stationary gravitational waves. Finally we consider gravitation as a gauge theory (effective gravitational theory), evaluate the propagators of the model, analyze the corresponding quantum excitations and verify (confirm) the tree-level unitarity at many places of the model.

Analysis of Maxwell Equations in a Gravitational Field

In a gravitational field, we analyze the Maxwell equations, the correponding electromagnetic wave and continuity equations. A particular solution for parellel electric and magnetic fields in a gravitational background is presented. These solutions also satisfy the free-wave equations and the phenomenology suggested by plasma physics.

Some Quantum Aspects of D=3 Space-Time Massive Gravity

We discuss some features of Einstein-Proca gravity in D=3 and 4 space-times. Our study includes a discussion on the tree-level unitarity and on the issue of light deflection in 3D gravity in the presence of a mass term.

Non-parallel Electric and Magnectic Fields in a Gravitational Background, Stationary Gravitational Waves and Gravitons

The existence of an electromagnectic field with parallel electric and magnetic components is readdressed in the presence of a gravitational field. A non-parallel solution is shown to exist. Next, we analyse the possibility of finding stationary gravitational waves in de nature. Finaly, We construct a D=4 effective quantum gravity model. Tree-level unitarity is verified.
