Exact cosmological solutions of scale-invariant gravity theories
We have found new anisotropic vacuum solutions for the scale-invariant gravity theories which generalise Einstein’s general relativity to a theory derived from the Lagrangian R. These solutions are expanding universes of Kasner form with an initial spacetime singularity at t = 0 and exist for −1/2 < δ < 1/4 but possess different Kasner index relations to the classic Kasner solution of general r...
متن کاملScale-invariant Gravity: Geometrodynamics
We present a scale-invariant theory, conformal gravity, which closely resembles the geometrodynamical formulation of general relativity (GR). While previous attempts to create scaleinvariant theories of gravity have been based on Weyl’s idea of a compensating field, our direct approach dispenses with this and is built by extension of the method of best matching w.r.t scaling developed in the pa...
متن کاملWorldsheet formulations of gauge theories and gravity
The evolution operator for states of gauge theories in the graph representation (closely related to the loop representation) is formulated as a weighted sum over worldsheets interpolating between initial and final graphs. As examples, lattice SU(2) BF and Yang-Mills theories are expressed as worldsheet theories, and (formal) worldsheet forms of several continuum U(1) theories are given. It is a...
متن کاملMinimal Gauge Invariant Classes of Tree Diagrams in Gauge Theories
We describe the explicit construction of groves, the smallest gauge invariant classes of tree Feynman diagrams in gauge theories. The construction is valid for gauge theories with any number of group factors which may be mixed. It requires no summation over a complete gauge group multiplet of external matter fields. The method is therefore suitable for defining gauge invariant classes of Feynma...
متن کاملGeometrical and topological foundations of theoretical physics: from gauge theories to string program
structures known to mathematicians as connections in fibre bundles. The discovery of this equivalence has made it possible to understand why and how powerful mathematical concepts and structures are necessary and suitable for the description and explanation of physical reality. In a very important paper, Wu and Yang introduced the fundamental concept of nonintegrable—that is, path-dependent—pha...
