Gravity from symmetry breakdown of a gauge affine theory

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6005887

We construct a gauge field theory based on bar GA(4,R) space-time symmetry, and provide the full Lagrangian containing spinorial and tensorial (infinite-component) matter manifields. We break the dilation symmetry and thus trigger a spontaneous breaking of the bar SL(4,R)/bar SO(1,3), also generating Newton's constant. The resulting space-time is of Riemann-Cartan type and in the flat limit we recover Special Relativity.
