I show how the isomorphism between the Lie groups of types $B_2$ and $C_2$ leads to a faithful action of the Clifford algebra $\mathcal C\ell(3,2)$ on the phase space of 2-dimensional dynamics, and hence to a mapping from Dirac spinors…
Vielbeins are necessary when coupling General Relativity (GR) to fermionic matter. This enhances the gauge group of GR to include local Lorentz transformations. In view of a reduced phase space formulation of quantum gravity, in this work…
From a previous paper where we proposed a description of general relativity within the gravito-electromagnetic limit, we propose an alternative modified gravitational theory. As in the former version, we analyze the vector and tensor…
It is first argued that radiation by a uniformly accelerated charge in flat space-time indicates the need for a unified geometric theory of gravity and electromagnetism. Such a theory, based on a metric-affine $U_4$ manifold, is constructed…
