Higgs mechanism for the Ashtekar self-dual connection

Abstract We introduce the Higgs mechanism for the self-dual spin connection (also known as the Ashtekar connection), using the Plebański formulation of gravity. We develop our formalism within the framework of the chiral action and derive the equations of motion of the theory. One particular test mo...
