Holomorphic Unified Field Theory of Gravity and the Standard Model
Abstract
We present a holomorphic framework in which gravity, gauge interactions, and their couplings to charges and currents emerge from a single geometric action on a four-complex-dimensional manifold. The Hermitian metric yields on the real slice , a real symmetric metric giving the vacuum Einstein equations, and an antisymmetric part that reproduces Maxwell's equations with sources. A single holomorphic gauge connection for , such as or , encodes all gauge sectors; its Bianchi identities give homogeneous Yang--Mills equations, and variation imposes . Chiral fermions arise from a holomorphic Dirac Lagrangian and couple minimally to all gauge fields, reproducing the Standard Model spectrum. Anomaly cancellation follows from holomorphic gauge invariance. A holomorphic adjoint Higgs breaks with unified coupling, and a second Higgs breaks electroweak symmetry, generating , , and fermion masses. Below the unification scale, couplings run by standard renormalization-group flow. This construction unifies Einstein gravity, Yang--Mills theory, electromagnetism, and chiral fermions into a single classical geometric framework, and admits quantization via a holomorphic path integral that reproduces standard Feynman rules.
