The general method that allows to formulate 4-D SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in terms of only local gauge invariant variables is presented. For the case N=2, that is discussed in details, this gauge invariant formulation appears to be very similar to R2-gravity.

A new local gauge invariant method is introduced in order to maximally simplify the expression for a SU(2) non-Abelian field strength. The new tetrads introduced in previous works are going to play a fundamental role in the algorithm presented in this paper. Three new local gauge invariant objects are going to guide us through the process of making a field strength block diagonal. The process is also covariant. Any nontrivial isospace field strength projection will become block diagonal through this gauge invariant algorithm. As an application we will find new local observables in Yang–Mills theories.

The relationship between gauge and gravity amounts to understanding the underlying new geometrical local structures. These structures are new tetrads specially devised for Yang–Mills theories, Abelian and non-Abelian in four-dimensional Lorentzian curved spacetimes. In the present paper, a new tetrad is introduced for the Yang–Mills [Formula: see text] formulation. These new tetrads establish a link between local groups of gauge transformations and local groups of spacetime transformations that we previously called LB1 and LB2. New theorems are proved regarding isomorphisms between local internal [Formula: see text] groups and local tensor products of spacetime LB1 and LB2 groups of transformations. These new tetrads define at every point in spacetime two orthogonal planes that we called blades or planes one and two. These are the local planes of covariant diagonalization of the stress–energy tensor. These tetrads are gauge dependent. Tetrad local gauge transformations leave the tetrads inside the local original planes without leaving them. These local tetrad gauge transformations enable the possibility to connect local gauge groups Abelian or non-Abelian with local groups of tetrad transformations. On the local plane one, the Abelian group [Formula: see text] of gauge transformations was already proved to be isomorphic to the tetrad local group of transformations LB1, for example. LB1 is [Formula: see text] plus two different kinds of discrete transformations. On the local orthogonal plane two [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to LB2 which is just [Formula: see text]. That is, we proved that LB1 is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] which is a remarkable result since a noncompact group plus two discrete transformations is isomorphic to a compact group. These new tetrads have displayed manifestly and nontrivially the coupling between Yang–Mills fields and gravity. The new tetrads and the stress–energy tensor allow for the introduction of three new local gauge invariant objects. Using these new gauge invariant objects and in addition a new general local duality transformation, a new algorithm for the gauge invariant diagonalization of the Yang–Mills stress–energy tensor is developed as an application. This is a paper about grand Standard Model gauge theories — General Relativity gravity unification and grand group unification in four-dimensional curved Lorentzian spacetimes.

After adding auxiliary fields and integrating out the original variables, the Yang-Mills action can be expressed in terms of local gauge-invariant variables. This method reproduces the known solution of the two-dimensional SU (N) theory. In more than two dimensions the action splits into a topological part and a part proportional to αs. We demonstrate the procedure for SU (2) in three dimensions where we reproduce a gravitylike theory. We discuss the four-dimensional case as well. We use a cubic expression in the fields as a space-time metric to obtain a covariant Lagrangian. We also show how the four-dimensional SU (2) theory can be expressed in terms of a local action with six degrees of freedom only.
