Classical and quantum theory of the massive spin-two field

A Koenigstein, F Giacosa, DH Rischke - Annals of Physics, 2016 - Elsevier
In this paper, we review classical and quantum field theory of massive non-interacting spin-
two fields. We derive the equations of motion and Fierz–Pauli constraints via three different …

action principle and on the general principle of relativity. We apply the canonical …

Minisuperspace canonical quantization of the Reissner-Nordström black hole via conditional symmetries

T Christodoulakis, N Dimakis, PA Terzis, B Vakili… - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We use the conditional symmetry approach to study the r evolution of a minisuperspace
spherically symmetric model both at the classical and the quantum level. After integration of …

Dark energy and inflation invoked in CCGG by locally contorted space-time

D Vasak, J Kirsch, J Struckmeier - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2020 - Springer
The cosmological implications of the covariant canonical gauge theory of gravity (CCGG)
are investigated. We deduce that, in a metric-compatible geometry, the requirement of …
