Finding solutions to non-linear field theories, such as Yang-Mills theories or general relativity, is usually difficult. The field equations of Yang-Mills theories and general relativity are known to share some mathematical similarities , and this connection can be used to find solutions to one theory using known solutions of the other theory. For example, the Schwarzschild solution of general ...
متن کاملYang-Mills Inspired Solutions for General Relativity
Several exact, cylindrically symmetric solutions to Einstein's vacuum equations are given. These solutions were found using the connection between Yang-Mills theory and general relativity. Taking known solutions of the YangMills equations (e.g. the topological BPS monopole solutions) it is possible to construct exact solutions to the general relativistic eld equations. Although the general rela...

متن کاملGeometric Foundations of Classical Yang-mills Theory
We analyze the geometric foundations of classical YangMills theory by studying the relationships between internal relativity, locality, global/local invariance, and background independence. We argue that internal relativity and background independence are the two independent defining principles of Yang-Mills theory. We show that local gauge invariance – heuristically implemented by means of the...

744 NOTICES OF THE AMS VOLUME 53, NUMBER 7 O n May 11 of last year, the late Richard Feynman’s birthday, a stamp was dedicated to Feynman at the post office in Far Rockaway, New York, Feynman’s boyhood home. (At the same time, the United States Postal Service issued three other stamps honoring the scientists Josiah Willard Gibbs and Barbara McClintock, and the mathematician John von Neumann.) T...
