In the framework of spatially covariant gravity, it is natural to extend a gravitational theory by putting the lapse function $N$ and the spatial metric $h_{ij}$ on an equal footing. We find two sufficient and necessary conditions for ensuring two physical degrees of freedom (DoF) for the theory with the lapse function being dynamical by Hamiltonian analysis. A class of quadratic actions with only two DoF is constructed. In the case that the coupling functions depend on $N$ only, we find that the spatial curvature term cannot enter the Lagrangian and thus this theory possesses no wave solution and cannot recover general relativity (GR). In the case that the coupling functions depend on the spatial derivatives of $N$, we perform a spatially conformal transformation on a class of quadratic actions with nondynamical lapse function to obtain a class of quadratic actions with $dot{N}$. We confirm this theory has two DoF by checking the two sufficient and necessary conditions. Besides, we find that a class of quadratic actions with two DoF can be transformed from GR by disformal transformation.

We investigate the correspondence between generally covariant higher derivative scalar-tensor theory and spatially covariant gravity theory. The building blocks are the scalar field and spacetime curvature tensor together with their generally covaria
nt derivatives for the former, and the spatially covariant geometric quantities together with their spatially covariant derivatives for the later. In the case of a single scalar degree of freedom, they are transformed to each other by gauge fixing and recovering procedures, of which we give the explicit expressions. We make a systematic classification of all the scalar monomials in the spatially covariant gravity according to the total number of derivatives up to $d=4$, and their correspondence to the scalar-tensor monomials. We discusse the possibility of using spatially covariant monomials to generate ghostfree higher derivative scalar-tensor theories. We also derive the covariant 3+1 decomposition without fixing any specific coordinate, which will be useful when performing a covariant Hamiltonian analysis.
We investigate the ghostfree scalar-tensor theory with a timelike scalar field, with derivatives of the scalar field up to the third order and with the Riemann tensor up to the quadratic order. We build two types of linear spaces. One is the set of l
inearly independent generally covariant scalar-tensor monomials, the other is the set of linearly independent spatially covariant gravity monomials. We argue that these two types of linear space are isomorphic to each other in the sense of gauge fixing/recovering procedures. We then identify the subspaces in the spatially covariant gravity, which are spanned by linearly independent monomials built of the extrinsic and intrinsic curvature, the lapse function as well as their spatial derivatives, up to the fourth order in the total number of derivatives. The vectors in these subspaces, i.e., spatially covariant polynomials, automatically propagate at most three degrees of freedom. As a result, their images under the gauge recovering mappings are automatically the subspaces of scalar-tensor theory that propagate up to three degrees of freedom as long as the scalar field is timelike. The mappings from the spaces of spatially covariant gravity to the spaces of scalar-tensor theory are encoded in the projection matrices, of which we also derived the expressions explicitly. Our formalism and results can be useful in deriving the generally covariant higher derivative scalar-tensor theory without ghost(s).
We revisit the problem of building the Lagrangian of a large class of metric theories that respect spatial covariance, which propagate at most two degrees of freedom and in particular no scalar mode. The Lagrangians are polynomials built of the spati
ally covariant geometric quantities. By expanding the Lagrangian around a cosmological background and focusing on the scalar modes only, we find the conditions for the coefficients of the monomials in order to eliminate the scalar mode at the linear order in perturbations. We find the conditions up to $d=4$ with $d$ the total number of derivatives in the monomials and determine the explicit Lagrangians for the cases of $d=2$, $d=3$ as well as the combination of $d=2$ and $d=3$. We also expand the Lagrangian of $d=2$ to the cubic order in perturbations, and find additional conditions for the coefficients such that the scalar mode is eliminated up to the cubic order. This perturbative analysis can be performed order by order, and one expects to determine the final Lagrangian at some finite order such that the scalar mode is fully eliminated. Our analysis provides an alternative and complimentary approach to building spatially covariant gravity with only tensorial degrees of freedom. The resulting theories can be used as alternatives to the general relativity to describe the tensorial gravitational waves in a cosmological setting.
We study the entropy of the black hole with torsion using the covariant form of the partition function. The regularization of infinities appearing in the semiclassical calculation is shown to be consistent with the grand canonical boundary conditions
. The correct value for the black hole entropy is obtained provided the black hole manifold has two boundaries, one at infinity and one at the horizon. However, one can construct special coordinate systems, in which the entropy is effectively associated with only one of these boundaries.
The one-loop partition function of the $f(R,R_{mu u}R^{mu u})$ gravity theory is obtained around AdS$_4$ background. After suitable choice of the gauge condition and computation of the ghost determinant, we obtain the one-loop partition function of t
he theory. The traced heat kernel over the thermal quotient of AdS$_4$ space is also computed and the thermal partition function is obtained for this theory. We have then consider quantum corrections to the thermodynamical quantities in some special cases.
