Thermodynamic geometry of holographic superconductors

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2016
We obtain the thermodynamic geometry of a (2+1) dimensional strongly coupled quantum field theory at a finite temperature in a holographic setup, through the gauge/gravity correspondence.

On the role of the parity violating Hojman–Holst term in gravity theories

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
We study Parity Violating Gravity Theories whose gravitational Lagrangian is a generic function of the scalar curvature and the parity odd curvature pseudoscalar, commonly known as the Holst (or Hojmann) term.

S- and T-self-dualities in dilatonic $$f(R)$$ f ( R ) theories

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
We search for theories, in general spacetime dimensions, that would incorporate a dilaton and higher powers of the scalar Ricci curvature such that they have exact S- or T-self-dualities. The theories we find are free of Ostrogradsky instabilities.

Effective Gravitational “Constant” in Scalar-(Curvature)Tensor and Scalar-Torsion Gravities

open access: yesUniverse, 2017
In theories where a scalar field couples nonminimally to gravity, the effective gravitational “constant” becomes dependent on the value of the scalar field.
