This research project aims at further developing the gauge approach to gravity, further studying the definitions and properties of the energy, momentum, and angular momentum of the gravitational field within the gauge-theoretic approach, with the purpose of applying to the description of (both weak and strong) gravitational radiation and interaction of the gravitational waves with matter…
The teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, which corresponds to a gauge theory for the translation group, is nowadays considered to be a viable alternative theory for gravitation. Due to its gauge structure, it has shown to be more appropriate than general relativity to study some specific problems of gravitation. Considering this context, the basic purpose of this project is to s…

Holography is an unusual property of gravity that states that gravitation can be fully described by a (non-gravitational) field theory on the boundary of spacetime. This property is known as the holographic principle, and it is believed to be a generic property of any consistent theory of gravitation. The best-known realization of this principle is the AdS/CFT correspondence, which h…
The teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, which corresponds to a gauge theory for the translation group, has shown to provide an interesting approach to deal with several aspects of gravitation. We plan to develop further the foundations of this theory, as well as to reconsider some specific problems of gravitation as seen from the teleparallel point of view. We will be mainly in…
In the presence of a cosmological constant, Minkowski spacetime is no longer a solution of the vacuum Einstein equation. In this case, absence of matter turns out to be represented by a deSitter spacetime. As a consequence, ordinary special relativity based on the Poincaré group is no longer valid, and must be replaced by a deSitter special relativity. The main purpose of this research pl…
