Description

Yang ? Mills gravity is a new theory, consistent with experiments, that brings gravity back to the arena of gauge field theory and quantum mechanics in flat space-time. It provides solutions to long-standing difficulties in physics, such as the incompatibility between Einstein?s principle of general coordinate invariance and modern schemes for a quantum mechanical description of nature, and Noether?s ? Theorem II? which showed that the principle of general coordinate invariance in general relativity leads to the failure of the law of conservation of energy. Yang ? Mills gravity in flat space-time appears to be more physically coherent than conventional gravity in curved space-time. The problems of quantization of the gravitational field, the operational meaning of space-time coordinates and momenta, and the conservation of energy-momentum are all resolved in Yang ? Mills gravity.

The aim of this book is to provide a treatment of quantum Yang ? Mills gravity, with an emphasis on the ideas and evidence that the gravitational field is the manifestation of space-time translational symmetry in flat space-time, and that there exists a fundamental space-time symmetry framework that can encompass all of physics, including gravity, for all inertial and non-inertial frames of reference.
