Equivalence between the Lovelock–Cartan action and a constrained gauge theory

Abstract We show that the four-dimensional Lovelock–Cartan action can be derived from a massless gauge theory for the SO(1, 3) group with an additional BRST trivial part. The model is originally composed of a topological sector and a BRST exact piece and has no explicit dependence on the metric, the...
