Differential Geometrical Formulation of Gauge Theory of Gravity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Differential geometric formulation of quantum gauge theory of gravity is studied in this paper. The quantum gauge theory of gravity which is proposed in the references hep-th/0109145 and hep-th/0112062 is formulated completely in the framework of traditional quantum field theory. In order to study the relationship between quantum gauge theory of gravity and traditional quantum gravity which is formulated in curved space, it is important to find the differential geometric formulation of quantum gauge theory of gravity. We first give out the correspondence between quantum gauge theory of gravity and differential geometry. Then we give out differential geometric formulation of quantum gauge theory of gravity. ∗email address: [email protected]

The electro-weak model as a phenomenological issue of multidimensions
One of the main task of modern theoretical physics is an explanation for the different kind of interactions in nature. Among them, gravity plays a special role, being described by a classical and geometrical theory (General Relativity); therefore, the most difficult obstacle seems to be its unification with other forces. While it is a common opinion that in a quantum formulation the gravitation...
متن کاملHigher gauge theory — differential versus integral formulation
The term higher gauge theory refers to the generalization of gauge theory to a theory of connections at two levels, essentially given by 1and 2-forms. So far, there have been two approaches to this subject. The differential picture uses non-Abelian 1and 2-forms in order to generalize the connection 1-form of a conventional gauge theory to the next level. The integral picture makes use of curves...
متن کاملEinstein-Dirac theory on gauge-natural bundles
We present a clear-cut example of the importance of the functorial approach of gaugenatural bundles and the general theory of Lie derivatives for classical field theory, where the sole correct geometrical formulation of Einstein (-Cartan) gravity coupled with Dirac fields gives rise to an unexpected indeterminacy in the concept of conserved quantities. Math. Subj. Class. (2000): primary: 83C40;...
متن کاملLectures on W - Gravity , W - Geometry and W - Strings ⋆
Classical W-gravities and the corresponding quantum theories are reviewed. W-gravities are higher-spin gauge theories in two dimensions whose gauge algebras are W-algebras. The geometrical structure of classical W-gravity is investigated, leading to surprising connections with self-dual and special geometry. The anomalies that arise in quantum W-gravity are discussed, with particular attention ...
متن کاملIs Barbero’s Hamiltonian formulation a Gauge Theory of Lorentzian Gravity?
This letter is a critique of Barbero’s constrained Hamiltonian formulation of General Relativity on which current work in Loop Quantum Gravity is based. We show that if one tries to interpret Barbero’s real SO(3) connection as a space–time gauge field, the theory is not diffeomorphism invariant. In this respect, Barbero’s connection is quite different from Ashtekar’s, which does admit a space–t...
