On the mathematics of coframe formalism and Einstein–Cartan theory—a brief review

M Tecchiolli - Universe, 2019 - mdpi.com
This article is a review of what could be considered the basic mathematics of Einstein–
Cartan theory. We discuss the formalism of principal bundles, principal connections …

Hamilton geometry: Phase space geometry from modified dispersion relations

L Barcaroli, LK Brunkhorst, G Gubitosi, N Loret… - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We describe the Hamilton geometry of the phase space of particles whose motion is
characterized by general dispersion relations. In this framework spacetime and momentum …

Foundations of Finsler spacetimes from the observers' viewpoint

AN Bernal, MA Javaloyes, M Sánchez - Universe, 2020 - mdpi.com
Physical foundations for relativistic spacetimes are revisited in order to check at what extent
Finsler spacetimes lie in their framework. Arguments based on inertial observers (as in the …

Axiomatic derivation of coincident general relativity and its premetric extension

T Koivisto, M Hohmann, L Marzola - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
A theory of gravity is deduced from the axioms of the premetric program. The starting point is
the conservation of energy and momenta, and the equivalence of gravitation and inertia. The …

Relativistic kinetic gases as direct sources of gravity

M Hohmann, C Pfeifer, N Voicu - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We propose a new model for the description of a gravitating multiparticle system, viewed as
a kinetic gas. The properties of the (colliding or noncolliding) particles are encoded into a so …

Consistent first-order action functional for gauge theories

P Gallagher, TS Koivisto, L Marzola, L Varrin, T Zlosnik - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
A novel first-order action principle has been proposed as the possible foundation for a more
fundamental theory of general relativity and the Standard Model. It is shown in this article …

Spacetime and observer space symmetries in the language of Cartan geometry

M Hohmann - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
We introduce a definition of symmetry generating vector fields on manifolds which are
equipped with a first-order reductive Cartan geometry. We apply this definition to a number …

The general linear Cartan khronon

T Koivisto, M Hohmann, T Złośnik - Universe, 2019 - mdpi.com
A Cartan geometry of the General Linear symmetry is formulated by dividing out the
displacements from the group. The resulting action is quadratic in curvature, polynomial in …

An axiomatic purification of gravity

T Koivisto, M Hohmann, L Marzola - arxiv preprint arxiv:1909.10415, 2019 - arxiv.org
A theory of gravity is deduced from the axioms of the premetric program. The starting point is
the conservation of energy and momenta, and the equivalence of gravitation and inertia. The …

Black holes in Lorentz gauge theory

TS Koivisto, L Zheng - arxiv preprint arxiv:2408.10100, 2024 - arxiv.org
Black hole solutions are explored in the Lorentz gauge theory of gravity. The fields of the
theory are the gauge potential in the adjoint and a scalar in the fundamental representation …
