A Curious Relation Between Gravity and Yang-Mills Theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We find that Euclidian or Minkowski gravity in d dimensions can be formally expressed as the restriction to a slice of a supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in d+1 dimensions with SO(d+1), SO(d,1) or SO(d-1,2) internal symmetry. We suggest that renormalization effects in the bulk imply a contraction of the latter symmetry into the Poincare group ISO(d) or ISO(d-1,1).
