Local Gauge Invariance

In the framework of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, we study the dynamics of a gravitationally coupled electromagnetic field. It is shown that the electromagnetic field is able not only to couple to torsion, but also, through its energy–momentum tensor, produce torsion. Furthermore, it is shown that the coupling of the electromagnetic field with torsion preserves the local gauge invariance of Maxwell's theory.

The paper is devoted to 2-spinor calculus methods in general relativity. New spinor form of the Lovelock differential identity is suggested. This identity is second-order identity for the Riemann curvature tensor. We provide an example that our spinorial treatment of Lovelock identity is effective for the description of solutions of Einstein–Maxwell equations. It is shown that the covariant divergence of Lipkin’s zilch tensor for the free Maxwell field vanishes on the solutions of Einstein–Maxwell equations if and only if the energy–momentum tensor of the electromagnetic field is Weyl-compatible.

Explicit Expressions

Starting from the known representation of the Kac–Moody algebra in terms of the coordinates and momenta, we extend it to the representation of the super Kac–Moody and super Virasoro algebras. Then we use general canonical method to construct an action invariant under local gauge symmetries, where components of the super energy–momentum tensor L± and G± play the role of the diffeomorphisms and supersymmetry generators respectively. We obtain covariant extension of WZNW theory with respect to local supersymmetry as well as explicit expressions for gauge transformations.

Regular Black Hole

In this work, we present a regular black hole solution, in the context of scale-dependent General Relativity, satisfying the weak energy condition. The source of this solution is an anisotropic effective energy–momentum tensor which appears when the scale dependence of the theory is turned-on. In this sense, the solution can be considered as a semiclassical extension of the Schwarzschild one.
