Description
Five-dimensional Chern-Simons gravity is very interesting theory that allows for a space-time to have both nonzero curvature and torsion , yet it is defined in one higher number of dimensions than we currently experimentally observe. In this talk, we will review some aspects of five-dimensional Chern-Simons gravity with AdS gauge group. Using holography as our guiding tool, we will write down the equations of a gravity (coupled with a cutoff CFT) on the Randall-Sundrum brane, thus establishing a connection with four-dimensional physics. We then construct some explicit but simple solutions of those equations.
