A comparative review of certain Gauge theories of the gravitational field.

Abstract

A general formal analysis is made trying to obtain a better understanding and greater syn thesis of the mathematical structure of the gravitational field’s Gauge theories. Under this approach, some misstatements appearing in current theories are detected. A theory based on the direct product groups T (4 ) x GL (4) and T (4) X O (1 , 3) is suggested (in contrast to those using the Poincaré group, semidirect product). Such a theory corrects the just mentioned deficiencies possessing the attributes of the preceding ones.
