Chiral Unification of Electroweak and Gravitational Interactions
Abstract
Vector potentials and their associated fields are embodied in the left and right spin connections and their spin curvatures. These measure the path-dependence of the transport of spin frames, or the "vorticity of the spinfluid," produced by local sources. Electroweak interactions emerge from PT-antisymmetric u(1) × su(2) phase perturbations of the spin frames which do not show up in the spacetime tetrad. Gravitation emerges from PT-symmetric spin perturbations, whose path dependence shows up as spacetime curvature. We also predict a new "nonsymmetric" component of electrogravitation on particles with nontrivial electroweak form factors.
