In this project, the free plane wave conditions were imposed on the classical SU(2) gauge field to obtain a new general Ansatz. Although afterwards it was found that this Ansatz is similar to a special case of an existing Ansatz[1], there are important differences. The idea of this Ansatz was later applied to the other nonlinear interaction of nature, namely gravity. However, this effort encountered some complications, such as the lack of an exact definition or interpretation of energy and momentum of gravitational waves.

Gravity can be descibed as a gauge field theory where connection and curvature are so(2,3)-valued. In the standard gauge field theory for strong and electroweak interaction corresponding quantities take their value in the su(3)⊕su(2)⊕u(1) algebra. Therefore, unification of gravity with the other fundamental interactions is obtained by using the non-compact simple real Lie algebra so*(14)⊃so(2,3)⊕su(3)⊕su(2)⊕u(1) as a unifying algebra. The so*(14) gauge field defined by a connection one-form on the SO*(14) principal fiber bundle unifies the fundamental interactions in particle physics, gravity included. The unified gauge field Lagrangian is defined by the Yang-Mills Weil form on the SO*(14) principal bundle.

We calculate energy and momentum for a class of cylindrical rotating gravitational waves using Einstein and Papapetrou's prescriptions. It is shown that the results obtained are reduced to the special case of the cylindrical gravitational waves already available in the literature.

Silverman's game on intervals was analyzed in a special case by Evans, and later more extensively by Heuer and Leopold-Wildburger, who found that optimal strategies exist (and gave them) quite generally when the intervals have no endpoints in common. They exist in about half the parameter plane when the intervals have a left endpoint or a right endpoint, but not both, in common, and (as Evans had earlier found) exist only on a set of measure zero in this plane if the intervals are identical. The game of Double-Silver, where each player has its own threshold and penalty, is examined. There are several combinations of conditions on relative placement of the intervals, the thresholds and penalties under which optimal strategies exist and are found. The indications are that in the other cases no optimal strategies exist.

The experimental study of wave attenuation in concrete has been achieved in the case of the propagation of plane waves in concrete rods. Different mortars and concretes have been investigated. A transmitter transducer coupled to one of the ends of the concrete rod generates the propagation of a plane wave in the rod. The receiver transducer, similar to the previous one, is coupled to the other end of the rod. The experimental results lead to an analytical expression for wave attenuation as function of the concrete composition, the propagation distance, and the wave frequency.

We discuss the properties and interpretation of a discrete sequence of a static spherically symmetric solutions of the Yang-Mills dilaton theory. This sequence is parametrized by the number of zeros, n, of a component of the gauge field potential. It is demonstrated that solutions with odd n possess all the properties of the sphaleron. It is shown that there are normalizable fermion zero modes in the background of these solutions. The question of instability is critically analyzed.

The dynamics of a gravitational wave propagating through a cosmic gauge field are dramatically different than in vacuum. We show that a gravitational wave acquires an effective mass, is birefringent, and its normal modes are a linear combination of gravitational waves and gauge field excitations, leading to the phenomenon of gravitational wave–gauge field oscillations. These surprising results provide an insight into gravitational phenomena and may suggest new approaches to a theory of quantum gravity.
