Gravity is specifically the attractive force between two masses separated at a distance. Is this force a derived or a fundamental interaction? We believe that all fundamental interactions are quantum in nature but a derived interaction may…
The classical theory of Riemann ellipsoids is formulated naturally as a gauge theory based on a principal G-bundle ${\cal P}$. The structure group G=SO(3) is the vorticity group, and the bundle ${\cal P}=GL_+(3, R})$ is the connected…

The infinite group of deformed diffeomorphisms of the spacetime continuum is put into the basis of the gauge theory of gravity. This gives rise to some new ways for unification of gravity with other gauge interactions.
Electromagnetism, the strong and the weak interaction are commonly formulated as gauge theories in a Lagrangian description. In this paper we present an alternative formal derivation of U(1)-gauge theory in a manifestly covariant Hamilton…
One of the main features of covariant theories, in particular general relativity, is that the field equation possesses gauge freedom associated with global diffeomorphisms of the underlying manifold. I shall explain here how the hole…
This thesis is about conceptual aspects of gauge theories. Gauge theories lie at the heart of modern physics: in particular, they constitute the standard model of particle physics. At its simplest, the idea of gauge is that nature is best…
In this paper we discuss how the gauge principle can be applied to classical-mechanics models with finite degrees of freedom. The local invariance of a model is understood as its invariance under the action of a matrix Lie group of…
For the purpose of analyzing observed phenomena, it has been convenient, and thus far sufficient, to regard gravity as subject to the deterministic principles of classical physics, with the gravitational field obeying Newton's law or…
A generalized theory of gauge transformations is presented on the basis of the covariant Hamiltonian formalism of field theory, for which the covariant canonical field equations are equivalent to the Euler-Lagrange field equations. Similar…
The standard approach to Higgs mechanism is based on the existence of unitary gauge but, unfortunately, it does not come from a coordinate change in the configuration space of the initial model and actually defines a new dynamical system.…
This is a shortened version of an invited talk at the XIII International Workshop "Lie Theory and its Applications in Physics", June 17-23, Varna, Bulgaria. A covariant canonical gauge theory of gravity free from torsion is studied. Using a…
We discuss the gauge natural formulation of supersymmetric theories and supergravity, with the aim to show that the standard and the supersymmetric frameworks admit in fact a unifying mathematical language.
The Covariant Canonical Gauge theory of Gravity is generalized by including at the Lagrangian level all possible quadratic curvature invariants. In this approach, the covariant Hamiltonian principle and the canonical transformation…
The U(1) gauge field is usually induced from the gauge principle, that is, the extension of global U(1) phase transformation for matter field. However the phase itself is realized only for quantum theory. In this paper we introduce the U(1)…
When gravity is sourced by a quantum system, there is tension between its role as the mediator of a fundamental interaction, which is expected to acquire nonclassical features, and its role in determining the properties of spacetime, which…
In these lectures general relativity is outlined as the classical field theory of gravity, emphasizing physical phenomena rather than mathematical formalism. Dynamical solutions representing traveling waves as well as stationary fields like…
We introduce gravity theories featuring spontaneously growing gauge fields where the growth is due to the Higgs mechanism. The underlying physics is inspired by the spontaneous scalarization phenomena in scalar-tensor theories. The…
We propose a conceptually economical and computationally tractable completion of the foundations of gauge theory on quantum principal bundles \`{a} la Brzezi\'{n}ski--Majid to the case of general differential calculi and strong bimodule…
