We give a higher even dimensional extension of vacuum colliding gravitational plane waves with the combinations of collinear and noncollinear polarized four-dimensional metrics. The singularity structure of space-time depends on the parameters of the solution.

Particle content of quadratic and f (R-mu nu sigma rho) theories in (A)dS Tekin, Bayram (2016-05-17) We perform a complete decoupling of the degrees of freedom of quadratic gravity and the generic f(R-mu nu sigma rho) theory about any one of their possible vacua, i.e. maximally symmetric solutions, and find the masses of the spin-2 and spin-0 modes in explicit forms.
Massive higher derivative gravity theories Güllü, İbrahim; Tekin, Bayram; Department of Physics (2011) In this thesis massive higher derivative gravity theories are analyzed in some detail. One-particle scattering amplitude between two covariantly conserved sources mediated by a graviton exchange is found at tree-level in D dimensional (Anti)-de Sitter and flat spacetimes for the most general quadratic curvature theory augmented with the Pauli-Fierz mass term. From the amplitude expression, the Newtonian potential energies are calculated for various cases. Also, from this amplitude and the propagator structu...
Bachian gravity in three dimensions Tek, Mustafa; Tekin, Bayram; Department of Physics (2019) Modified theories in 3-dimensions such as the topologically massive gravity (TMG), new massive gravity (NMG) or Born-Infeld extension of NMG arise from the vari-ations of diffeomorphism invariant actions; hence the resulting field equations aredivergence free. Namely, the rank two tensor defining the field equations satisfy aBianchi identity for all smooth metrics. However there are some recently constructedtheories that do not identically satisfy Bianchi identities for all metrics, but only forthe soluti...
Gravitating instantons in 3 dimensions Ferstl, A; Tekin, Bayram; Weir, V (2000-09-15) We study the Einstein-Chern-Simons gravity coupled to Yang-Mills-Higgs theory in three-dimensional Euclidean space with a cosmological constant. The classical equations reduce to Bogomol'nyi type first order equations in curved space. There are BPS type gauge theory instanton (monopole) solutions of finite action in a gravitational instanton which itself has a finite action. We also discuss gauge theory instantons in the vacuum (zero action) AdS space. In addition we point out to some exact solutions which ...
Azimuthal Anisotropy of Charged Particles at High Transverse Momenta in Pb-Pb Collisions at root S-NN=2.76 TeV Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (2012-07-01) The azimuthal anisotropy of charged particles in Pb-Pb collisions at root S-NN = 2.76 TeV is measured with the CMS detector at the LHC over an extended transverse momentum (p(T)) range up to approximately 60 GeV/c. The data cover both the low-p(T) region associated with hydrodynamic flow phenomena and the high-p(T) region where the anisotropies may reflect the path-length dependence of parton energy loss in the created medium. The anisotropy parameter (nu(2)) of the particles is extracted by correlating cha...
