If scale invariance exists in nature, the so-called "unparticle physics" may become part of reality. The only way to refute or confirm this idea is through experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). One of the peculiar properties of the unparticle stuff is that it gives striking multiphoton signals which have been studied through only the unparticle self-interactions. By considering not only the selfinteractions of unparticles but also all the other possible contributions, which are dominant, a detailed study of the processes, within a scalar unparticle scenario, pp -> 4 gamma, pp -> 2 gamma 2g, pp -> 2 gamma 2l, pp -> 4e, pp -> 4 mu and pp -> 2e2 mu at root s = 14 TeV at the LHC is carried out. We use basic selection cuts and analyze various distributions to discriminate the signals over the Standard Model backgrounds and discuss what seems to be the most likely channel among the above for an indirect manifestation of unparticle effects. We follow a new approach to tackle the issue with the three-point correlation function for the scalar unparticle self-interactions. We also obtain the exclusion region in the unparticle parameter space from the available two-photon data of the LHC and compare it with the existing bounds coming from other sources.

Exotic massive gravity: Causality and a Birkhoff-like theorem KILIÇARSLAN, ERCAN; Tekin, Bayram (American Physical Society (APS), 2019-08-16) We study the local causality issue via the Shapiro time-delay computations in the on-shell consistent exotic massive gravity in three dimensions. The theory shows time delay as opposed to time advance despite having a ghost at the linearized level both for asymptotically flat and anti-de Sitter spacetimes. We also prove a Birkhoff-like theorem: any solution with a hypersurface orthogonal non-null Killing vector field is conformally flat; and we find some exact solutions.
Non-Riemannian gravity and the Einstein-Proca system Dereli, T; Onder, M; Schray, J; Tucker, RW; Wang, C (IOP Publishing, 1996-08-01) We argue that all Einstein-Maxwell or Einstein-Proca solutions to general relativity may be used to construct a large class of solutions (involving torsion and non-metricity) to theories of non-Riemannian gravitation that have been recently discussed in the literature.
Event horizon detecting invariants Tavlayan, Aydın; Tekin, Bayram (American Physical Society (APS), 2020-04-14) Some judiciously chosen local curvature scalars can be used to invariantly characterize event horizons of black holes inD > 3 dimensions, but they fail for the three dimensional Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole since all curvature invariants are constant. Here we provide an invariant characterization of the event horizon of the BTZ black hole using the curvature invariants of codimension one hypersurfaces instead of the full spacetime. Our method is also applicable to black holes in generic dimen...
KALUZA-KLEIN REDUCTION OF GENERALIZED THEORIES OF GRAVITY AND NONMINIMAL GAUGE COUPLINGS DERELI, TEKİN; Üçoluk, Göktürk (IOP Publishing, 1990-07-01) The Kaluza-Klein reduction of a generalised theory of gravity in D=5 dimensions is given. The form of the interactions among the gravitational, electromagnetic and massless scalar fields in four dimensional spacetime is exhibited.
Bachian gravity in three dimensions Alkaç, Gökhan; Tek, Mustafa; Tekin, Bayram (American Physical Society (APS), 2018-11-16) In three dimensions, there exist modifications of Einstein's gravity akin to the topologically massive gravity that describe massive gravitons about maximally symmetric backgrounds. These theories are built on the three-dimensional version of the Bach tensor (a curl of the Cotton-York tensor) and its higher derivative generalizations; and they are on-shell consistent without a Lagrangian description based on the metric tensor alone. We give a generic construction of these models, find the spectra and comput...
