Abstract We derive the holographic entanglement entropy functional for a generic gravitational theory whose action contains terms up to cubic order in the Riemann tensor, and in any dimension. This is the simplest case for which the so-called splitting problem manifests itself, and we explicitly show that the two common splittings present in the literature — minimal and non-minimal — produce different functionals. We apply our results to the particular examples of a boundary disk and a boundary strip in a state dual to 4- dimensional Poincaré AdS in Einsteinian Cubic Gravity, obtaining the bulk entanglement surface for both functionals and finding that causal wedge inclusion is respected for both splittings and a wide range of values of the cubic coupling.

A deSitter gauge theory of gravitation over a spherical symmetric Minkowski space–time is developed. The "passive" point of view is adapted, i.e., the space–time coordinates are not affected by group transformations; only the fields change under the action of the symmetry group. A particular ansatz for the gauge fields is chosen and the components of the strength tensor are computed. An analytical solution of Schwarzschild–deSitter type is obtained in the case of null torsion. It is concluded that the deSitter group can be considered as a "passive" gauge symmetry for gravitation. Because of their complexity, all the calculations, inclusive of the integration of the field equations, are performed using an analytical program conceived in GRTensorII for MapleV. The program allows one to compute (without using a metric) the strength tensor [Formula: see text], Riemann tensor [Formula: see text], Ricci tensor [Formula: see text], curvature scalar [Formula: see text], field equations, and the integration of these equations.

AbstractA solution of Einstein's vacuum field equations, apparently new, is exhibited. The metric, which is homogeneous (that is, admits a three-parameter group of motions transitive on space-like hypersurfaces), belongs to Taub Type V. The canonical form of the Riemann tensor, which is of Petrov Type I, is determined.

Nonlocal gravity models are constructed to explain the current acceleration of the universe. These models are inspired by the infrared correction appearing in Einstein–Hilbert action. Here, we develop the Hamiltonian formalism of a nonlocal model by considering only terms to quadratic order in Riemann tensor, Ricci tensor and Ricci scalar. We show how to count degrees of freedom using Hamiltonian formalism including Ricci tensor and Ricci scalar terms. In this model, we have also worked out with a choice of a nonlocal action which has only two degrees of freedom equivalent to GR. Finally, we find the existence of additional constraints in Hamiltonian required to remove the ghosts in our full action. We also compare our results with that of obtained using Lagrangian formalism.
