We propose a gravitation theory in 4 dimensional space-time obtained by compacting to 4 dimensions the five dimensional topological Chern-Simons theory with the gauge group SO(1,5) or SO(2,4) – the de Sitter or anti-de Sitter group of 5-dimensional space-time. In the resulting theory, torsion, which is solution of the field equations as in any gravitation theory in the first order formalism, is not necessarily zero. However, a cosmological solution with zero torsion exists, which reproduces the Lambda-CDM cosmological solution of General Relativity. A realistic solution with spherical symmetry is also obtained.

Strength Tensor

A model of SU(2) gauge theory is constructed in terms of local gauge-invariant variables defined over a four-dimensional space–time endowed with axial symmetry. A metric tensor gμν is defined starting with the components [Formula: see text] of the strength tensor and its dual [Formula: see text]. The components gμν are interpreted as new local gauge-invariant variables. Imposing the condition that the new metric coincides with the initial metric we obtain the field equations for the considered ansatz. We obtain the same field equations using the condition of self-duality. It is concluded that the self-dual variables are compatible with the axial symmetry of the space–time. A family of analytical solutions of the gauge field equations is also obtained. The solutions have the confining properties. All the calculations are performed using the GRTensorII computer algebra package, running on the MapleV platform.

We consider the most general theory of a single scalar field with the second order field equations, the Horndeski theory, in four-dimensional space-time. We show that static, spherically symmetric, asymptotically flat, Lorentzian wormholes are unstable in this theory.

Presently, there exists some renewed interest in time varying speed of light theories as possible solutions of the major cosmological problems1. It is often believed that the local Lorentzian invariance is broken if the speed of light in a vacuum is not a constant. We point out that this belief is not necessarily founded and that a variable speed of light is perfectly consistent with general relativity under the assumption of non-minimal coupling between electromagnetism and curvature. Two kinds of arguments may be invoked in favour of such an assumption. First, a theorem due to Horndeski2 shows that in a four-dimensional space-time the Einstein-Maxwell field equations are not the only second-order vector potential field equations which stem from a Lagrangian scalar density, are consistent with the charge conservation and reduce to Maxwell's equations in a flat space-time (see also3). Second, according to QED4,5, vacuum polarization induces tidal gravitational effects which imply that photons propagating in a curved space-time have velocities exceeding the value of the "Lorentzian structural constant" c. The modified electromagnetic field equations given by Horndeski2 are studied here in the geometrical optics limit. Considering the case of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological models, we find the value of the speed of light as a function of the energetic content of the universe. We deduce from this result a new equation of state for a photon gas and we discuss the consequences of this equation on the evolution of the scale factor during the radiation-dominated era.

In the usual and current understanding of planar gauge choices for Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields, the external defining vector nμ can either be space-like (n2 < 0) or time-like (n2>0) but not light-like (n2=0). In this work we propose a light-like planar gauge that consists of defining a modified gauge-fixing term, ℒ GF , whose main characteristic is a two-degree violation of Lorentz covariance arising from the fact that four-dimensional space–time spanned entirely by null vectors as basis necessitates two light-like vectors, namely nμ and its dual mμ, with n2=m2=0, n·m≠0, say, e.g. normalized to n·m=2.

Many approaches to quantum gravity consider the revision of the space-time geometry and the structure of elementary particles. One of the main candidates is string theory. It is possible that this theory will be able to describe the problem of hierarchy, provided that there is an appropriate Calabi-Yau geometry. In this paper we will proceed from the traditional view on the structure of elementary particles in the usual four-dimensional space-time. The only condition is that quarks and leptons should have a common emerging structure. When a new formula for the mass of the hierarchy is obtained, this structure arises from topological quantum theory and a suitable choice of dimensional units.
