Gauge × gauge = gravity on homogeneous spaces using tensor convolutions
Abstract
A definition of a convolution of tensor fields on group manifolds is given, which is then generalised to generic homogeneous spaces. This is applied to the product of gauge fields in the context of `gravity = gauge × gauge'. In particular, it is shown that the linear Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) gauge transformations of two Yang-Mills gauge fields generate the linear BRST diffeomorphism transformations of the graviton. This facilitates the definition of the `gauge × gauge' convolution product on, for example, the static Einstein universe, and more generally for ultrastatic spacetimes with compact spatial slices.
