read the original abstract

These are notes of introductory lectures on (a) elements of 2+1 dimensional gravity, (b) some aspects of its relation to Chern-Simons theory, (c) its generalization to couple higher spins, and (d) cosmic singularity resolution as an application in the context of flat space higher spin theory. A knowledge of the Einstein-Hilbert action, classical non-Abelian gauge theory and some (negotiable amount of) maturity are the only pre-requisites.

  1. Gauge Symmetries, Exact Symmetries and Conserved Charges in Minimal Massive Gravity

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Minimal Massive Gravity has three gauge symmetries, and a newly constructed transformation generates exact symmetries and a conserved charge in a restricted parameter limit.
