Gauge Gravity and Conservation Laws in Higher Order Anisotropic Spaces
We propose an approach to the theory of higher order anisotropic field interactions and curved spaces (in brief, ha–field, ha–interactions and ha–spaces). The concept of ha–space generaliSes various types of Lagrange and Finsler spaces and higher dimension (Kaluza–Klein) spaces. This work consists from two parts. In the first we outline the theory of Yang–Mills ha–fields and two gauge models of...
متن کاملHigher gauge theory — differential versus integral formulation
The term higher gauge theory refers to the generalization of gauge theory to a theory of connections at two levels, essentially given by 1and 2-forms. So far, there have been two approaches to this subject. The differential picture uses non-Abelian 1and 2-forms in order to generalize the connection 1-form of a conventional gauge theory to the next level. The integral picture makes use of curves...
متن کاملGauge Fixing in Higher Derivative Gravity
Linearized four-derivative gravity with a general gauge fixing term is considered. By a Legendre transform and a suitable diagonalization procedure it is cast into a second-order equivalent form where the nature of the physical degrees of freedom, the gauge ghosts, the Weyl ghosts, and the intriguing “third ghosts”, characteristic to higher-derivative theories, is made explicit. The symmetries ...
متن کاملHigher Order Gravity , Gauge Invariant Variables , And Quantum Behavior In Weyl - Like Geometries
This paper presents the detailed, standard treatment of a simple, gauge invariant action for Weyl and Weyl-like Cartan geometries outlined in a previous paper. In addition to the familiar scalar curvature squared and Maxwell terms, the action chosen contains the logarithmic derivative of the scalar curvature combined with the intrinsic four vector (Weyl vector) in a gauge invariant fashion. Thi...
متن کاملHigher order dilaton gravity: brane equations of motion in the covariant formulation
Dilaton gravity with general brane localized interactions is investigated. Models with corrections up to arbitrary order in field derivatives are considered. Effective gravitational equations of motion at the brane are derived in the covariant approach. Dependence of such brane equations on the bulk quantities is discussed. It is shown that the number of the bulk independent brane equations of ...
