Gravity as the affine Goldstone phenomenon and beyond
arXiv:gr-qc/0405110 · doi:10.1134/1.2131118
Abstract
The two-phase structure is imposed on the world continuum, with the graviton emerging as the tensor Goldstone boson during the spontaneous transition from the affinely connected phase to the metric one. The physics principle of metarelativity, extending the respective principle of special relativity, is postulated. The theory of metagravitation as the general nonlinear model GL(4,R)/SO(1,3) in the arbitrary background continuum is built. The concept of Metauniverse as the ensemble of the regions of the metric phase inside the affinely connected phase is introduced, and the possible bearing of the emerging multiple universes to the fine tuning of our Universe is conjectured.
