We review the relations between Jordan cells in various branches of physics, ranging from
quantum mechanics to massive gravity theories. Our main focus is on holographic …

We study black hole solutions in extended gravities with higher-order curvature terms,
including conformal and Einstein-Weyl gravities. In addition to the usual anti-de Sitter (AdS) …

A bstract Logarithmic conformal field theories have a vast range of applications, from critical
percolation to systems with quenched disorder. In this paper we thoroughly examine the …

We study non-Einstein Bach-flat gravitational instanton solutions that can be regarded as the
generalization of the Taub-NUT/bolt and Eguchi-Hanson solutions of Einstein gravity to …

We investigate the unfolded formulation of bosonic Lorentz tensor fields of arbitrary spin in
${\mathrm {AdS}} _ {3} $ containing a parity breaking mass parameter. They include …

In this PhD thesis, we investigate a wide class of three-dimensional massive gravity models
and show how most of them (if not all) can be brought in a first-order, Chern-Simons-like …

A special class of higher curvature theories of gravity, Ricci cubic gravity (RCG), in general d
dimensional space-time has been investigated in this paper. We have used two different …

A bstract We compute holographic one-and two-point functions of critical highercurvature
gravity in four dimensions. The two most important operators are the stress tensor and its …

A bstract In this paper we discuss some special (critical) background solutions that arise in
topological gauged\(\mathcal {N}\)= 8 three-dimensional CFTs with SO (N) gauge group …

We consider a class of parity-even, six-derivative gravity theories in three dimensions. After
linearizing around anti–de Sitter space, the theories have one massless and two massive …
