Gauge theory of gravitation in higher-dimensional space-time and its dimensional reduction

It is shown that the Euler invariant type action of an O(d) gauge theory in d dimensions is a surface term and becomes the (d − 1)-dimensional gauge theory of gravitation. Its Kaluza-Klein dimensional reduction gives a theory which contains the ordinary Einstein gravity.     

On Gauge Invariant Theories of Gravitation

Theories of gravitation are called gauge invariant if the invariance of the gravitational field lagrangian with respect to gauge transformations of the gravitational field variables is independend of the invariance of this lagrangian with respect to the Einstein group of general coordinate transformations. They are bimetric theories because the coordinate covariance is ensured by constructing scalar densities relative to a globally flat background metric. Such a theory is represented by the PAUL-FIERZ equations for massless spin 2 particles. But this theory is inconsistent if nongravitational matter is enclosed as a source. All attempts to overcome this inconsistancy preserving gauge invariance lead to Einstein's GRT. We review this problem and compare the situation with a theory proposed by LOGUNOV showing that he overcomes the inconsistency of linear Einstein's equations by replacing the field variables by a gauge invariant combination of new ones, which turns out to be the first order form of v. FREUD'S superpotential.     

Quaternion-Octonion Analyticity for Abelian and Non-Abelian Gauge Theories of Dyons

Einstein-Schrödinger (ES) non-symmetric theory has been extended to accommodate the Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories of dyons in terms of the quaternion-octonion metric realization. Corresponding covariant derivatives for complex, quaternion and octonion spaces in internal gauge groups are shown to describe the consistent field equations and generalized Dirac equation of dyons. It is also shown that quaternion and octonion representations extend the so-called unified theory of gravitation and electromagnetism to the Yang-Mill’s fields leading to two SU(2) gauge theories of internal spaces due to the presence of electric and magnetic charges on dyons.     

Gauge theory of gravitational interaction of macroscopic matter

Within the framework of the gauge theory of gravitation as a gauge theory of the local group P₄ × D (Poincaré and dilatation), the gravitational interaction of a continuous medium in Weil space, in which the Weil nonmetricity is due to localization of the dilatation group, and its source is the mass flux density of matter, i.e., its dilatational current, is considered. Using the variational principle, with the curvature scalar in Weil space as the geometric Lagrangian, dynamic equations of the theory are obtained, and the corresponding accurate solutions are found.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 7, pp. 81–83, July, 1991.     

Einstein-Maxwell Equations: Gauge Formulation and Solutions for Radiating Bodies

The subject of the SL(2, c) gauge theory of gravitation is reviewed. A detailed discussion is given on the differential geometry and the fibre bundle structure of such a theory. The coupling of Maxwell's field equations to those of gravitation is also given. The field equations obtained, which are shown to be equivalent to the coupled Einstein-Maxwell equations, are subsequently solved. The solutions sought after are radiating type ones of the kind of the Kerr metric, but with the mass of the body being variable and is a function of the retarded time. A generalization of the Kerr metric is presented and its energy-momentum tensor is analyzed in detail. The classification of the field obtained according to the Petrov scheme is also given.     

Gauge theory of gravitation: (4+N)-dimensional theory

(4+N)-dimensional theory is studied using the method of differential geometry. The invariant line element is uniquely determined by the connection one-form which is invariant under the local gauge transformations. Generalized Lorentz equations are derived as the geodesic equations. One of these equations is that for a spinning point particle in gravitation which violates the strong equivalence principle.

Unifying Gauge Interaction and Gravity in Vector-Like Standard Model

A supersymmetric vector-like standard model without leptons is suggested to investigate the unification between gauge interactions and gravity under two loop approximation for gauge interactions and one loop string correction for gravitation. It is found that two intermediate mass scales are needed where the lower mass scale may be accessible in laboratory in future and the higher mass scale is of the order of 10¹⁶GeV.     

Gauge gravitation theory

The particularity of the gauge gravitation theory is that Dirac fermion fields possess only Lorentz exact symmetries. It follows that different tetrad gravitational fieldsh define nonisomorphic representations _h of cotangent vectors to a space-time manifoldX ⁴ by Dirac's-matrices on fermion fields. One needs these representations in order to construct the Dirac operator defined in terms of jet spaces. As a consequence, gravitational fieldsh fail to form an affine space modeled after any vector space of deviationsh'–h of some background fieldh. They therefore fail to be quantized in accordance with the familiar quantum field theory. At the same time, deformations of representation _h describe deviations ofh such thath + is not a gravitational field. These deviations form a vector space, i.e., satisfy the superposition principle. Their Lagrangian, however, differs from familiar Lagrangians of gravitation theory. For instance, it contains masslike terms.     

Spin-2 Quantum Gauge Theories and Perturbative Gauge Invariance

In the framework of causal perturbation theory we analyze the gauge structure of a massless self-interacting quantum tensor field. We look at this theory from a pure field theoretical point of view without assuming any geometrical aspect from general relativity. To first order in the perturbation expansion of the S-matrix we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for such a theory to be gauge invariant, by which we mean that the gauge variation of the self-coupling with respect to the gauge charge operator Q is a divergence in the sense of vector analysis. The most general trilinear self-coupling of the graviton field turns out to be the one derived from the Einstein–Hilbert action plus divergences and coboundaries.     

Massive Yang-Mills Field Theory with Conformal (Weyl) Invariance

A massive Yang-Mills field theory with the conformal (Weyl) invariance^[1] and gauge invariance is proposed. It involves the gravitational and various gauge interactions, in which all the mass terms appear as the uniform interactional form m(x) = KΦ(x). When the conformal and gauge symmetries are broken spontaneously, the Einstein gravitation emerges and all the fields obtain masses, this theory is renormalizable and unitary with the gravitation ignored. Finally we give a relation between the theory and the Higgs mechanism.     

Relativity and equivalence principles in a gauge theory of gravitation

Conclusion The principal difficulty that has obstructed the formulation of gauge gravitation for more than twenty years now is the fact that an Einstein gravitational field represents a metric or a tetradic field, while gauge fields are connections on fiber bundles.The popular approach to the resolution of this problem lies in attempts to represent tetrad fields as gauge fields of the translation subgroup within the framework of the gauge theory of the Poincaré group, but the existing set of variants of the latter theory indicate that it is a long way from completion.Our approach [2, 3] insists that in a gauge theory, apart from gauge fields, the situation of spontaneous breaking of symmetry can also admit Goldstone and Higgs fields, under which is subsumed the metric (tetrad) gravitational field by virtue of the fact that, as we have shown above, the equivalence principle is included in the gauge theory of gravitation.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 79–82, June, 1981.     

Gauge Model with Massive Gravitons

Gauge theory of gravity is formulated based on principle of local gauge invariance. Because the model hasstrict local gravitational gauge symmetry, and gauge theory of gravity is a perturbatively renormalizable quantum model.However, in the original model, all gauge gravitons are massless. We want to ask whether there exist massive gravitonsin Nature. In this paper, we will propose a gauge model with massive gravitons. The mass term of gravitational gaugefield is introduced into the theory without violating the strict local gravitational gauge symmetry. Massive gravitons canbe considered to be possible origin of dark energy and dark matter in the Universe.     

Gravitational Gauge Interactions of Scalar Field

Quantum gauge theory of gravity is formulated based on gauge principle. Because the Lagrangian has strict local gravitational gauge symmetry, gravitational gauge theory is a perturbatively renormalizable quantum theory. Gravitational gauge interactions of scalar field are studied in this paper. In quantum gauge theory of gravity, scalar field minimal couples to gravitational field through gravitational gauge covariant derivative. Comparing the Lagrangian for scalar field in quantum gauge theory of gravity with the corresponding Lagrangian in quantum fields in curved space-time, the definition for metric in curved space-time in geometry picture of gravity can be obtained, which is expressed by gravitational gauge field. In classical level, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches are also discussed.

A gauge theory of gravitation based on a specific Lagrangian

The paper is devoted to the presentation of a specific Lagrangian for the Poincaré gauge theory of gravity. Interesting and useful properties of the gauge theory of gravitation based on this Lagrangian are briefly outlined.     

Renormalizable Quantum Gauge Theory of Gravity

The quantum gravity is formulated based on the principle of local gauge invariance. The model discussed in this paper has local gravitational gauge symmetry, and gravitational field is represented by gauge field. In the leading-order approximation, it gives out classical Newton's theory of gravity. In the first-order approximation and for vacuum, it gives out Einstein's general theory of relativity. This quantum gauge theory of gravity is a renormalizable quantum theory.     

Quantum Gauge General Relativity

Based on gauge principle, a new model on quantum gravity is proposed in the frame work of quantum gauge theory of gravity. The model has local gravitational gauge symmetry, and the field equation of the gravitational gauge field is just the famous Einstein‘s field equation. Because of this reason, this model is called quantum gauge general relativity, which is the consistent unification of quantum theory and general relativity. The model proposed in this paper is a perturbatively renormalizable quantum gravity, which is one of the most important advantage of the quantum gauge general relativity proposed in this paper. Another important advantage of the quantum gauge general relativity is that it can explain both classical tests of gravity and quantum effects of gravitational interactions, such as gravitational phase effects found in COW experiments and gravitational shielding effects found in Podkletnov experiments.     

Gravitation in the light cone gauge

The formulation of gravitation theory in the light cone gauge is studied. After a brief discussion of Yang- Mills theory for purposes of illustration, tensor and scalartensor gravitation are investigated. We show that if the gauge conditions are properly chosen the constrained components of the metric tensor can be explicitly solved for by quadrature, so that the field theory can be reformulated entirely in terms of the physical transverse fields. It is also shown that the light cone gauge is useful for finding wave solutions of classical field equations. Occasional reference is made to dual models, primarily to explain our motivation, but familiarity with them is not required for an understanding of this paper.
