The first variation and Euler-Lagrange equations
The expression (REF ) makes it clear that the first variation of the pure connection action (REF ) is given by\delta S[{{w}}]= - \Lambda \;\int \,\textrm {Tr}(\delta {{e}}_{{f}}\wedge {{e}}_{{f}}\wedge {{e}}_{{f}}) = - \Lambda \; \int \textrm {Tr}(\delta ({{e}}_{{f}}\wedge {{e}}_{{f}}) \wedge {{e}}_{{f}}) = \int \textr...

Hitchin Functional, the Chern-Simons three-form and the Pure Connection Formulation of 3D Gravity
Let us now come back to the 6D notations. We consider again the three-form (REF ) which we rewrite here for convenience.C = -2\frac{\textrm {Tr}}{3}\left({{A}}\wedge {{A}}\wedge {{A}}+ {{\widetilde{A}}}\wedge {{\widetilde{A}}}\wedge {{\widetilde{A}}}\right).Our initial question was What is `Hitchin Theory' for this par...

A Very Brief Introduction to Cartan Geometry
Cartan geometry is a generalisation both of Riemannian geometry and Klein geometry.In Riemannian geometry a d-dimensional manifold can be infinitesimally identified with \mathbb {R}^d. This is indeed the role of the metric. The Riemann curvature tensor is then the obstruction to make this identification local, we won't...

General Cartan Geometry
The generalisation to curved (non-flat) homogeneous space is now straightforward.Let M be a d-dimensional manifold. A Cartan geometry on M modelled on (G,H), where G is a Lie group of dimension n and H a subgroup of dimension n-d, consists of the following data:A principal H bundle over MH\hookrightarrow P \rightarrow ...

A canonical example: 3d gravity
Gravity in three dimensions has no propagating degrees of freedom and Einstein's equations are just the statement that locally M^3 is an homogeneous space.

Hitchin Theory in Seven Dimensions
In this chapter we first review the geometry of stable three-form in seven dimensions: A globally defined stable positive three-form in seven dimensions gives a G_2 structure. Just like almost complex structure identified the tangent space of a real, 2n-dimensional, manifold with n, a G_2 structure identifies the tange...

Following we here apply the methods from to seven dimensions. Let E be a seven dimensional vector space.

The metric and Hitchin volume form
A basic fact about stable three-forms on a 7-dimensional manifold M is that they naturally define a metric on M. For positive three-forms this metric is definite and of signature \left(3,4\right) for negative ones. Of course none of this comes as a surprise if one has in mind the preceding discussion on octonions.This ...

Calculation of the metric and the dual form
We now put ansatz (REF ) into the canonical form (REF ), and compute the associated metric and the dual form. The canonical frame is easily seen to be\theta ^{i} = \alpha d_A y^i, \qquad \theta ^{4+I} = \beta \sqrt{2} e^I, \qquad I=1,2,3,4\, ,where \lbrace e^I\rbrace _{ I\in 0,1,2,3} is an orthonormal frame on the base...

Co-closing

There is no such term arising anywhere else, and we must demand\alpha \beta...

The overdetermined system of equations (REF ), (REF ) and (REF ) is nevertheless compatible.

A `natural' alternative to Einstein gravity
At the end of the first chapter of this thesis, see section , we described a family of modified theories of gravity that we referred to as `chiral deformations of GR'. This infinite family of theories was parametrised by a function f, see REF . Even though there exists freedom in choosing this function, there exists a ...

In this final chapter we describe a new functional for three-forms in seven dimensions describing nearly parallel G_2 structures and consider its reduction to four dimensions. The resulting theory is some scalar-tensor gravity in BF type formulation. These results were originally presented in , . Note that the author o...

We now give a nice example of solutions to the above equations related to construction discussed in the second chapter. This can be thought as a variant of the twistor construction.

Looking back: holonomy as a unifying theme
In the preceding chapters, we respectively encountered nearly Kahler structures, G_2 holonomy manifolds and nearly parallel G_2 structures. All these structures are natural in the context of holonomy on a Riemannian manifold that we now review.The material described in this subsection is standard see for example , or .

Holonomy on a Riemannian manifold
Associated with any Riemannian manifold \left(M,g\right) we have a unique torsionless connection, the Livi-Civita connection \nabla . By means of this connection one can define parallel transport as follows: Let \gamma \colon [0,1] \rightarrow M be a path connecting two points x_0 = \gamma (0) and x_1 = \gamma (1). The...

Consider E \rightarrow M a tensor or spinor bundle. We have a natural action of the Livi-Cevita connection \nabla on this bundle. We define invariant section (i.e under parallel transport) as sections \alpha such that for every loop \gamma :[0,1] \rightarrow M, \gamma (0)=\gamma (1)=x, P_{\gamma }\alpha = \alpha (x). B...

It is also natural to look for Manifolds admitting covariantly constant spinors \nabla \Psi =0. The question then arises: When does a Riemannian manifold admits such spinors ? By the holonomy principle such manifolds must have a non-generic holonomy group and should thus appear as a sub-case of Berger's List. We indeed...

A first point is that if one takes \phi =cst, the above action is a particular chiral deformation of GR of the general form BF plus potential V(BB) (see (REF ) and ). This therefore describes two propagating degrees of freedom of gravity type (spin two).Another interesting feature of the above equation is that for \phi...

Conclusion
ConclusionAll the approaches developed in this thesis were aspects of a search for a new perspective on gravity. On the one hand, we reconsidered the twistor formulation of (Euclidean) four dimensional GR and clarified that it fits in the broader scheme of chiral formulations of gravity. On the other hand, we proposed ...

Conclusion
Unlike the original case of Hitchin where the Lagrangian only depends on a three-form field, these are theories of two- and three-form fields. We named these theories `background independent Hitchin theories'. Here `background independent' refers to the fact that one does not pick by hand a particular cohomology class ...

Conclusion
What is more the construction naturally extends to {\rm {SU}}(2)-principal bundle over self-dual Einstein solutions.Considering the {\rm {SU}}(2)-reduction of this theory one obtains what can be interpreted as another chiral deformation of gravity together with a scalar field, see , .The physical interpretation -if any...

Decomposition of the Riemann Curvature Tensor in Coordinates
In this appendix we prove, using coordinates, the different claims made in the first part of chapter .In this appendix we use freely the isomorphism \mathfrak {so}(4)\simeq \Omega ^2 to represent elements of \mathfrak {so}(4, \mathbb {R}) as two-forms. I.e, we pick up a basis of one-forms, \left\lbrace e^I\right\rbrace...

The Riemann sphere and its Fubini-Study metric
The Riemann Sphere is the one dimensional complex projective space \mathbb {C}{P}^1, i.e the projective version of S^{\prime } \simeq 2 (here S^{\prime } stands for the space of primed spinors),\mathbb {C}{P}^1 \left\lbrace \text{One dimensional subspaces of } S^{\prime } \right\rbrace .as such it is at the same time t...
