Two potentials, one gauge group: A possible geometrical motivation

Два потенциала, одна калибровочная группа: Возможная геометрическая интерпретация

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

By studying the purely gravitational sector of a higher-dimensional matter-gravity coupled theory, one can see that in the case of nonvanishing torsion the effective 4-dimensional theory exhibits two gauge potentials that transform under the action of a single gauge group.

Riassunto

Studiando il settore puramente gravitazionale di una teoria ad alte dimensioni materia-gravità accoppiate, si può vedere che nel caso della torsione che non si annulla la teoria quadridimensionale efficace esibisce due potenziali di gauge che trasformano sotto l’azione di un singolo gruppo di gauge.

Резюме

При исследовании чисто гравитационного сектора теории, связывающей гравитацию и вещество, с большим числом измерений, можно видеть, что в случае не обращающегося в нуль кручения эффективная четырехмерная теория обнаруживает два калибровочных потенциала, которые преобразуются под действием одной калибровочной группы.
