Gauge field theory without groups

Daniel Canarutto

Non-standard topics underlying a partly original approach to gauge field theory are concisely introduced, expressing ideas that were broached in several papers and, eventually, exp…

The distance formula in algebraic spacetime theories

D. Canarutto, E. Minguzzi

The Lorentzian distance formula, conjectured several years ago by Parfionov and Zapatrin, has been recently proved by the second author. In this work we focus on the derivation of…

On the notions of energy tensors in tetrad-affine gravity

Daniel Canarutto

We are concerned with the precise modalities by which mathematical constructions related to energy-tensors can be adapted to a tetrad-affine setting. We show that, for fairly gener…

A first-order Lagrangian theory of fields with arbitrary spin

Daniel Canarutto

The bundles suitable for a description of higher-spin fields can be built in terms of a 2-spinor bundle as the basic `building block'. This allows a clear, direct view of geometric…

Covariant-differential formulation of Lagrangian field theory

Daniel Canarutto

Building on the Utiyama principle we formulate an approach to Lagrangian field theory in which exterior covariant differentials of vector-valued forms replace partial derivatives,…

Two-spinor tetrad and Lie derivatives of Einstein-Cartan-Dirac fields

Daniel Canarutto

An integrated approach to Lie derivatives of spinors, spinor connections and the gravitational field is presented, in the context of a previously proposed, partly original formulat…
