Chern–Simons gravities and gravitational Chern–Simons densities are constructed using the non-Abelian Yang–Mills Chern–Simons densities. As such, they are defined only in odd dimensions. We propose instead an analogous construction employing what we term Higgs–Chern–Simons (HCS) densities, which are defined in all dimensions. This enables the definition of extended versions of Chern–Simons gravities in all dimensions. Employing the same prescription, the definition of gravitational Chern–Simons…

A Higgs–Chern–Simons gravity model in 2  +  1 dimensions

We study a gravity model in 2  +  1 dimensions, arising from a generalized Chern–Simons (CS) density we call a Higgs–Chern–Simons (HCS) density. This generalizes the construction of gravitational…

Higgs-Chern-Simons Gravity Models in d = 2n + 1 Dimensions

We consider a family of new Higgs–Chern–Simons (HCS) gravity models in 2n+1 dimensions (n=1,2,3). This provides a generalization of the (usual) gravitational Chern–Simons (CS) gravities resulting…

A systematic prescription for constructing Chern–Simons gravities in all odd dimensions is given, and it is shown that Chern–Simons gravities in [Formula: see text] dimensions admit solutions…

Embedding Gauss-Bonnet Scalarization Models in Higher Dimensional Topological Theories

It is pointed out that families of such functions naturally emerge in the context of Higgs–Chern–Simons gravity models, which are found as dimensionally descents of higher dimensional, purely topological, Chern–Pontryagin non-Abelian densities.

Higgs-and Skyrme–Chern–Simons densities in all dimensions

Two types of new Chern–Simons (CS) densities, both defined in all odd and even dimensions, are proposed. These new CS densities feature a scalar field interacting with the gauge field. In one case…

A non-Abelian Chern-Simons–Yang-Mills-Higgs systemin 3 + 1 dimensions

We study spherically symmetric solutions of an SO(5) Chern-Simons–Yang-Mills-Higgs system in 3 + 1 dimensions. The Chern-Simons densities are defined in terms of both Yang-Mills fields and a…

Chern–Simons forms in gravitation theories

The Chern–Simons (CS) form evolved from an obstruction in mathematics into an important object in theoretical physics. In fact, the presence of CS terms in physics is more common than one may think:…

General relativity is extended by promoting the three-dimensional gravitational Chern-Simons term to four dimensions. This entails choosing an embedding coordinate v_\mu -- an external quantity,…
