Towards a Connection Formulation of Action-Dependent Palatini Gravity
This paper analyzes the role of the gauge connection in action-dependent Palatini gravity by decomposing it into shape and scale components, revealing a "moduli space of frictional field theories" where different splittings of these dynamics yield distinct Herglotz Lagrangians that all reproduce the same first-order Palatini gravity on-shell.
