چکیده
A theory in which 16-dimensional curved Clifford space (C-space) provides a realization of Kaluza-Klein theory is investigated. No extra dimensions of spacetime are needed: “extra dimensions” are in C-space. We explore the spin gauge theory in C-space and show that the generalized spin connection contains the usual 4-dimensional gravity and Yang-Mills fields of the U(1)×SU(2)×SU(3) gauge group. The representation space for the latter group is provided by 16-component generalized spinors composed of four usual 4-component spinors, defined geometrically as the members of four independent minimal left ideals of Clifford algebra.

The dynamics of totally symmetric free massless higher spin fields in AdS d is reformulated in terms of the compensator formalism for AdS gravity. The AdS 5 higher spin algebra is identified with the star product algebra with the su(2, 2) vector (i.e., o(4, 2) spinor) generating elements. Cubic interactions of the totally symmetric bosonic higher spin gauge fields in AdS 5 , including the inter...
متن کاملSpin Gauge Theory of Gravity in Clifford Space: A Realization of Kaluza-Klein Theory in 4-Dimensional Spacetime
A theory in which 4-dimensional spacetime is generalized to a larger space, namely a 16-dimensional Clifford space (C-space) is investigated. Curved Clifford space can provide a realization of Kaluza-Klein theory without a need of adding extra dimensions to the underlying spacetime. A covariant Dirac equation in curved C-space is explored. The generalized Dirac field is assumed to be a polyvect...

A formulation of Einstein gravity, analogous to that for gauge theory arising from the Chalmers-Siegel action, leads to a perturbation theory about an asymmetric weak coupling limit that treats positive and negative helicities differently. We find power counting rules for amplitudes that suggest the theory could find a natural interpretation in terms of a twistor-string theory for gravity with ...

We consider reduced Super Yang-Mills Theory in d + 1 dimensions, where d = 2, 3, 5, 9. We present commutators to prove that for d = 3, 5 and 9 a possible ground state must be a Spin(d) singlet. We also discuss the case d = 2, where we give an upper bound on the total angular momentum and show that for odd dimensional gauge group no Spin(d) invariant state exists in the Hilbert space.

The quantization of gauge-affine gravity within the superfiber bundle formalism is proposed. By introducing an even pseudotensorial 1-superform over a principal superfiber bundle with superconnection, we obtain the geometrical Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and anti-BRST transformations of the fields occurring in such a theory. Reducing the four-dimensional general affine group double-coverin...
