Spacetime Structures and Physical Theories
Abstract
General relativity is applied to the strong interaction; the nexus between the two being arrived at by constructing a line element having the Yukawa form, which is used to describe geometrically the classical dynamics of a particle moving under the influence of the short-range strong interaction. It is shown that, with reasonable assumptions, the theory of general relativity can be made compatible with quantum mechanics by using the general relativistic field equations to construct a Robertson-Walker metric for a quantum particle. The resulting line element of the particle can be transformed entirely to that of a Minkowski spacetime, and the spacetime dynamics of the particle described by a Minkowski observer takes the form of quantum mechanics. It is also discussed the physical aspects of the affine connection in general relativity and its relationship with the field strength of the electromagnetic field and strong interaction. A heuristic geometric formulation of the electromagnetic field as an independent spacetime structure is presented.

Since the electrogravitics reference list prepared by Robert Stirniman ([email protected]) mentioned my work hep-th/9412243, I would like to replace it by this revised version with corrections and a more detailed discussion. 8 pages, Latex
