In four dimensions one can use the chiral part of the spin connection as the main object that encodes geometry. The metric is then recovered algebraically from the curvature of this connection. We address the question of how isometries can be identified in this pure connection formalism. We show that isometries are recovered from gauge transformation parameters satisfying the requirement that the Lie derivative of the connection along a vector field generating an isometry is a gauge transformation. This requirement can be rewritten as a first order differential equation involving the gauge transformation parameter only. Once a gauge transformation satisfying this equation is found, the isometry generating vector field is recovered algebraically. We work out examples of the new formalism being used to determine isometries, and also prove a general statement: a negative definite connection on a compact manifold does not have symmetries. This is the precise pure connection analog of the well-known Riemannian geometry statement that there are no Killing vector fields on compact manifolds with negative Ricci curvature.
We state and prove a simple Theorem that allows one to generate invariant quantities in Metric-Affine Geometry, under a given transformation of the affine connection. We start by a general functional of the metric and the connection and consider tran
We provide an exact mapping between the Galilian gauge theory, recently advocated by us cite{BMM1, BMM2, BM}, and the Poincare gauge theory. Applying this correspondence we provide a vielbein approach to the geometric formulation of Newtons gravity w
We present a conformal isometry for static extremal black hole solutions in all four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-scalar theories with electromagnetic duality groups `of type $E_7$. This includes, but is not limited to, all supergravity theories with
The main goal of the present work is to analyze the cosmological scenario of the induced gravity theory developed in previous works. Such a theory consists on a Yang-Mills theory in a four-dimensional Euclidian spacetime with $SO(m,n)$ such that $m+n
In a spacetime divided into two regions $U_1$ and $U_2$ by a hypersurface $Sigma$, a perturbation of the field in $U_1$ is coupled to perturbations in $U_2$ by means of the holographic imprint that it leaves on $Sigma$. The linearized gluing field eq
