Theory Of Gravitation

A de-Sitter gauge theory of the gravitational field is developed using a spherical symmetric Minkowski space–time as base manifold. The gravitational field is described by gauge potentials and the mathematical structure of the underlying space–time is not affected by physical events. The field equations are written and their solutions without singularities are obtained by imposing some constraints on the invariants of the model. An example of such a solution is given and its dependence on the cosmological constant is studied. A comparison with results obtained in General Relativity theory is also presented.

A deSitter gauge theory of gravitation over a spherical symmetric Minkowski space–time is developed. The "passive" point of view is adapted, i.e., the space–time coordinates are not affected by group transformations; only the fields change under the action of the symmetry group. A particular ansatz for the gauge fields is chosen and the components of the strength tensor are computed. An analytical solution of Schwarzschild–deSitter type is obtained in the case of null torsion. It is concluded that the deSitter group can be considered as a "passive" gauge symmetry for gravitation. Because of their complexity, all the calculations, inclusive of the integration of the field equations, are performed using an analytical program conceived in GRTensorII for MapleV. The program allows one to compute (without using a metric) the strength tensor [Formula: see text], Riemann tensor [Formula: see text], Ricci tensor [Formula: see text], curvature scalar [Formula: see text], field equations, and the integration of these equations.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to get second-order gravitational equations, a correction made to Jefimenko’s linear gravitational equations. These linear equations were first proposed by Oliver Heaviside in [1], making an analogy between the laws of electromagnetism and gravitation. To achieve our goal, we will use perturbation methods on Einstein field equations. It should be emphasized that the resulting system of equations can also be derived from Logunov’s non-linear gravitational equations, but with different physical interpretation, for while in the former gravitation is considered as a deformation of space-time as we can see in [2–5], in the latter gravitation is considered as a physical tensor field in the Minkowski space-time (as in [6–8]). In Jefimenko’s theory of gravitation, exposed in [9, 10], there are two kinds of gravitational fields, the ordinary gravitational field, due to the presence of masses, at rest, or in motion and other field called Heaviside field due to and acts only on moving masses. The Heaviside field is known in general relativity as Lense-Thirring effect or gravitomagnetism (The Heaviside field is the gravitational analogous of the magnetic field in the electromagnetic theory, its existence was proved employing the Gravity Probe B launched by NASA (See, for example, [11, 12]). It is a type of gravitational induction), interpreted as a distortion of space-time due to the motion of mass distributions, (see, for example [13, 14]). Here, we will present our second-order Jefimenko equations for gravitation and its solutions.

Gauge Fixing

Using the Clifford bundle formalism, a Lagrangian theory of the Yang–Mills type (with a gauge fixing term and an auto interacting term) for the gravitational field in Minkowski space–time is presented. It is shown how two simple hypotheses permit the interpretation of the formalism in terms of effective Lorentzian or teleparallel geometries. In the case of a Lorentzian geometry interpretation of the theory, the field equations are shown to be equivalent to Einstein's equations.

Generally True

A model of Poincaré gauge self-dual theory over the Minkowski space–time, endowed with spherical symmetry, is considered. The self-duality (S-D) conditions are imposed and two sets of the self-duality equations for the gauge fields are obtained: one for the torsion tensor and another for the curvature tensor. An analytical solution of the gauge field equations is also obtained. The Yang–Mills (Y–M) equations of the gauge fields are also derived. It is shown that these Y–M equations can be obtained from the S-D equations, a result which is generally true for any S-D gauge theory. Most of all calculations are performed using the GRTensorII package, running on the MapleV platform.

Abstract This article is based upon the idea to solve the problem of combining the electromagnetic and the gravitational field by starting from Maxwell's theory. It is shown that the theory of the Maxwell field can be generalized in such a way that Einstein's theory of gravitation becomes a special case of it. Finally we find field equations which refer only to geometric quantities.

In the framework of the gauge theory based on the Poincaré symmetry group, the gravitational field is described in terms of the coframe and the local Lorentz connection. Considered as gauge field potentials, they give rise to the corresponding field strength which are naturally identified with the torsion and the curvature on the Riemann–Cartan spacetime. We study the class of quadratic Poincaré gauge gravity models with the most general Yang–Mills type Lagrangian which contains all possible parity-even and parity-odd invariants built from the torsion and the curvature. Exact vacuum solutions of the gravitational field equations are constructed as a certain deformation of de Sitter geometry. They are black holes with nontrivial torsion.

Gravitational Equilibrium

<p class="1Body">A summarization of the Alcubierre metric is given in comparison to a new metric that has been formulated based on the theoretical assertion of a recently published paper entitled “gravitational space-time curve generation via accelerated particles”. The new metric mathematically describes a warp field where particle accelerators can theoretically generate gravitational space-time curves that compress or contract a volume of space-time toward a hypothetical vehicle traveling at a sub-light velocity contingent upon the amount of voltage generated. Einstein’s field equations are derived based on the new metric to show its compatibility to general relativity. The “time slowing” effects of relativistic gravitational time dilation inherent to the gravitational field generated by the particle accelerators is mathematically shown to be counteracted by a gravitational equilibrium point between an arrangement of two equal magnitude particle accelerators. The gravitational equilibrium point produces a volume of flat or linear space-time to which the hypothetical vehicle can traverse the region of contracted space-time without experiencing time slippage. The theoretical warp field possessing these attributes is referred to as the two gravity source warp field which is mathematically described by the new metric.</p>

We propose a gravitation theory in 4 dimensional space-time obtained by compacting to 4 dimensions the five dimensional topological Chern-Simons theory with the gauge group SO(1,5) or SO(2,4) – the de Sitter or anti-de Sitter group of 5-dimensional space-time. In the resulting theory, torsion, which is solution of the field equations as in any gravitation theory in the first order formalism, is not necessarily zero. However, a cosmological solution with zero torsion exists, which reproduces the Lambda-CDM cosmological solution of General Relativity. A realistic solution with spherical symmetry is also obtained.

The World

The construction of field theory which exhibits invariance under the Weyl group with parameters dependent on space–time is discussed. The method is that used by Utiyama for the Lorentz group and by Kibble for the Poincaré group. The need to construct world-covariant derivatives necessitates the introduction of three sets of gauge fields which provide a local affine connexion and a vierbein system. The geometrical implications are explored; the world geometry has an affine connexion which is not symmetric but is semi-metric. A possible choice of Lagrangian for the gauge fields is presented, and the resulting field equations and conservation laws discussed.
