The same wisdom word applies to us too. What began in 2005 as a short email on some ideas related to interpretation of the Wave Mechanics results in a number of papers and books up to now. Some of these papers can be found in Progress in Physics or elsewhere. It is often recognized that when a mathematician meets a physics-inclined mind then the result is either a series of endless debates or publication. In our story, we prefer to publish rather than perish. Therefore, our purpose with this book is to present a selection of published papers in a compilation which enable the readers to find some coherent ideas which appear in those articles. For this reason, the ordering of the papers here is based on categories of ideas. While some of these articles have been published in book format elsewhere, we hope that reading this book will give the readers an impression of the progress of our thoughts. A few other papers are not yet published elsewhere, or being planned to publish in other journal. We wish to extend our sincere gratitude to plenty of colleagues, friends and relatives all around the world for sharing their ideas, insightful discussions etc. Special thanks to D. Rabounski, S. Crothers, L. Borissova for their great service in Progress in Physics journal. One of these authors (VC) would like to thank to Profs. A. Yefremov and M. Fil’chenkov for all hospitality extended to him in the Institute of Gravitation and Cosmology of PFUR, where this book is prepared. Discussions with Prof. V.V. Kassandrov, Prof. V. Ivashchuk, & Prof. Yu P. Rybakov are appreciated. Many thanks also to Dr. S. Trihandaru and others from UKSW, Central 3 Java,Indonesia. Sincere thanks to good friends in PFUR, especially to D. Kermite, Y. Umniyati, Anastasia Golubtsova & Serguey– all other friends are of course worth mentioning here, but the margin of this book is quite limited to mention all of you.

  • Conceptual Barriers to a Unified Theory of Physics 1 Introduction
    Conceptual barriers to a unified theory of physics Dennis Crossley∗ Dept. of Physics, University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan, Sheboygan, WI 53081 August 31, 2012 Abstract The twin pillars of twentieth-century physics, quantum theory and general relativity, have conceptual errors in their foundations, which are at the heart of the repeated failures to combine these into a single unified theory of physics. The problem with quantum theory is related to the use of the point-particle model, and the problem with general relativity follows from a misinterpretation of the significance of the equivalence principle. Correcting these conceptual errors leads to a new model of matter called the space wave model which is outlined here. The new perspective gained by space wave theory also makes it clear that there are conceptual errors in the two main thrusts of twenty-first- century theoretical physics, string theory and loop quantum gravity. The string model is no more satisfactory than the point-particle model and the notion that space must be quantized is, frankly, nonsensical. In this paper I examine all of these conceptual errors and suggest how to correct them so that we can once again make progress toward a unified theory of physics. 1 Introduction { the challenge of the unification program The goal of theoretical physics is to construct a single unified description of fundamental particles and their interactions, but flaws in the foundations of physics have prevented physi- cists from achieving this goal. In this essay I examine conceptual errors that have led to this impasse and propose alternatives which break this impasse and let us once again move forward toward the goal of a unified theory of physics.

  • On the Goldstonic Gravitation Theory
    Pramina-J. Phys., Voi. 29, No. 1, July 1987, pp. 21-37. © Printed in India. On the Goldstonic gravitation theory D IVANENKO and G SARDANASHVILY Physics Faculty, Moscow University, 117234, Moscow, USSR Abstract. The physical specificity of gravity as a Goldstone-typ¢ field responsible for spontaneous breaking of space-time symmetries is investigated and extended up to supcrgrav- ity. Problems of the Higgs gravitation vacuum and its matter sources are discussed. A particular"dislocation" structure of a space-time due to Poincar6 translation gauge fields and the corresponding modification of Newton's gravitational potential are predicted. Keywords. Gauge theory; gravity; supergravity; Goldstone field. PACS Nos 04.50; 11.15 1. Introduction The geometric nature of gravity as a metric field was established by Einstein's general relativity which we take as the base of gravitation theory. The physical specificity of gravity as the Goldstone-type field is now clarified by means of gauge approach to gravitation theory (Sardanashvily 1980; Ivanenko and Sardanashvily 1983; Ivanenko et al 1985). At present, gauge theory is well known to provide the theoretical base of most part of current unification attempts in particle physics. Apparently, a necessary step for including gravity in the unified gauge picture of, fundamental interactions consists in constructing a comprehensive gauge gravitation theory itself. We share the opinion of many authors that a gauge gravitation theory must contain Einstein's general relativity as the particular case. However, the main dilemma that one faces is that Einstein's gravitational field is a metric (or tetrad) field, whereas gauge potentials are connections on fibre bundles.

  • Spacetime Geometric Structures and the Search for a Quantum Theory of Gravity
    Spacetime geometric structures and the search for a Quantum Theory of Gravity Mihaela Iftime Abstract. One of the biggest challenges to theoretical physics of our time is to ¯nd a background-independent quantum theory of gravity. Today one encounters a profusion of di®erent attempts at quantization, but no fully accepted - or acceptable, theory of quantum gravity. Any such approach requires a response to a question that lies at the heart of this problem. \How shall we resolve the tension between the background de- pendence of all hitherto-successful quantum theories, both non-relativistic quantum mechanics and special-relativistic quantum ¯eld theory, and the background independence of classical general relativity?" (see [28]) The need for a background-independent quantization procedure forms the starting point of my approach. In this paper I shall present a gauge-natural formulation of general relativity, and provide some insights into the struc- ture of the space of geometries, which plays an important role in the construction of a non-perturbative quantum gravity using a path integral approach, as well as in string theory (see e.g., [2, 18, 31]) M.S.C. 2000: 53-XX, 83-XX. Key words: Di®erential geometry, Relativity and gravitational theory. 1 Historical-Physical Motivation The most succesful among all gravitational theories is Einstein's theory of general relativity. In general relativity the ¯eld equations 1 are described in purely geometric terms: the space-time is a fairly smooth manifold M of dim n = 4 with a normal hyperbolic Riemannian structure { Lorentzian metric tensor g transforms at each point to the flat Minkowski metric ´ = diag(1; 1; 1; ¡1), and its timelike and null geodesics represent the paths of freely falling particles and light rays.

  • The Gauge Condition in Gravitation Theory with a Background Metric
    The gauge condition in gravitation theory with a background metric G. A. Sardanashvily Department of Theoretical Physics, Moscow State University, 117234 Moscow, Russia E-mail: [email protected] URL: http://webcenter.ru/∼sardan/ Abstract. In gravitation theory with a background metric, a gravitational field is described by a two-tensor field. The energy-momentum conservation law imposes a gauge condition on this field. Gravitation theory in the presence of a background metric remains under considera- tion. In particular, there are two variants of gauge gravitation theory [9, 10, 12]. The first of them leads to the metric-affine gravitation theory, while the second one (hence- forth BMT) deals with a background pseudo-Riemannian metric gµν and a non-degenerate µ (1,1)-tensor field q ν, regarded as a gravitational field. A Lagrangian of BMT is of the form LBMT = ǫLq + LAM + Lm, (1) µ where Lq is a Lagrangian of a tensor gravitational field q ν in the presence of a background µν µν metric g , LAM is a Lagrangian of the metric-affine theory where a metric g is replaced with an effective metric µν µ ν αβ g = q αq βg , (2) e and Lm is a matter field Lagrangian depending on an effective metric g and a general linear connection K (see, e.g., [5]). Note that, strictly speaking, g (2)e is not a metric, but there exists a metric whose coefficients equal gµν (2). Therefore,e one usually assumes that Lq depends on q only via an effective metriceg. arXiv:gr-qc/0301066v1 19 Jan 2003 A glance at the expression (1) shows that thee matter field equation in BMT is that of affine-metric theory where a metric g is replaced with an effective metric g.

Koorambas Ampelokipi, Athens, Greece ABSTRACT We investigate the nature of a new kind of space-time curvature effects, produced by electric charge swap (ECS) transformations between families of leptons in the six- dimensional space time, We find that lepton ECS-transformations form the proper + Lorentz group SO (1,3)(ECS). We show that Einstein-type theory of weak space-time ECS- curvature effects can be formulated from the SL(2,C)(ECS) gauge group by using ECS- tetrad formalism. The latter yields to massless electrically charged spin-2 (ECS-graviton), which mediates the ECS exchange interaction between families of leptons.

  • A Black Hole Solution of Higher-Dimensional Weyl-Yang
    A BLACK HOLE SOLUTION OF HIGHER-DIMENSIONAL WEYL YANG KALUZA KLEIN THEORY − − − Halil Kuyrukcu Physics Department, Zonguldak B¨ulent Ecevit University, Zonguldak, 67100, Turkey E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. We consider the Weyl Yang gauge theory of gravitation in a (4 + 3)- − dimensional curved space-time within the scenario of the non-Abelian Kaluza Klein − theory for the source and torsion-free limits. The explicit forms of the field equations containing a new spin current term and the energy-momentum tensors in the usual four dimensions are obtained through the well-known dimensional reduction procedure. In this limit, these field equations admit (anti-)dyon and magnetic (anti-)monopole solutions as well as non-Einsteinian solutions in the presence of a generalized Wu Yang − ansatz and some specific warping functions when the extra dimensions associated with the round and squashed three-sphere S3 are, respectively, included. The (anti- )dyonic solution has similar properties to those of the Reissner Nordstr¨om de Sitter − − black holes of the Einstein Yang Mills system. However, the cosmological constant − − naturally appears in this approach, and it associates with the constant warping function as well as the three-sphere radius. It is demonstrated that not only the squashing parameter ℓ behaves as the constant charge but also its sign can determine whether the solution is a dyon/monopole or an antidyon/antimonopole. It is also shown by using the power series method that the existence of nonconstant warping function is essential for finding new exact Schwarzschild-like solutions in the considered model. arXiv:1602.02418v2 [gr-qc] 23 Sep 2021 PACS numbers: 04.50.Cd, 04.50.Kd, 04.20.Jb, 04.70.Bw Keywords: Modified theories of gravity, kaluza-klein theories, exact solutions, classical black holes 1.

It addresses the geometry underlying gauge gravitation theories, their higher-dimensional, super- gauge, and non-commutative extensions. At present, Yang–Mills gauge theory provides a universal description of the fundamental electroweak and strong interactions. Gauge gravitation theory from the very beginning [1] aims to extend this description to gravity. It started with gauge models of the Lorentz, Poincar´egroups and general covariant transformations [2–4]. At present, gauge gravity is mainly supergravity, higher-dimensional, non-commutative and quantum gravity [5–8]. This Preface can not pretend for any comprehensive analysis of gauge gravitation theories, but addresses only the geometry underlying them. We apologize in advance for that the list of references is far from to be complete. The first gauge model of gravity was suggested by Utiyama [1] in 1956 just two years after birth of the gauge theory itself. Utiyama was first who generalized the original gauge model of Yang and Mills for SU(2) to an arbitrary symmetry Lie group and, in particular, to the Lorentz group in order to describe gravity. However, he met the problem of treating arXiv:gr-qc/0512115v2 9 Feb 2006 general covariant transformations and a pseudo-Riemannian metric (a tetrad field) which had no partner in Yang–Mills gauge theory. In a general setting, fiber bundles provide the adequate geometric formulation of classical field theory where classical fields on a smooth manifold X are represented by sections of fiber bundles over X.
