A particle with torsion or a particle in AdS3 in 2+1 dimensions: teleparallel ideas at work 2026-02-20Image Seminar A particle with torsion or a particle in AdS3 in 2+1 dimensions: teleparallel ideas at work Date 27/02 Place Pere Pascual V5.07 Room Abstract: We construct relativistic point-particle actions in 2+1 dimensions using the non-linear realisation (coset) approach for the Mielke–Baekler (MB) algebra. In the torsional branch (p=0) the same background admits two equivalent […]
