Gravitation and inertia; a rearrangement of vacuum in gravity

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new gravitational theory based on a gauge principle in flat space, linking vacuum rearrangement to gravity and inertia, and supports it with observational consistency and a relativistic inertia law.

Contribution

It introduces a novel gauge-based framework for gravity and inertia in flat space, connecting vacuum state rearrangement to gravitational phenomena.

Findings

The theory aligns with current observational data.

A relativistic law of inertia is derived.

Vacuum rearrangement is linked to gravity in the model.

Abstract

We address the gravitation and inertia in the framework of 'general gauge principle', which accounts for 'gravitation gauge group' generated by hidden local internal symmetry implemented on the flat space. We connect this group to nonlinear realization of the Lie group of 'distortion' of local internal properties of six-dimensional flat space, which is assumed as a toy model underlying four-dimensional Minkowski space. The agreement between proposed gravitational theory and available observational verifications is satisfactory. We construct relativistic field theory of inertia and derive the relativistic law of inertia. This theory furnishes justification for introduction of the Principle of Equivalence. We address the rearrangement of vacuum state in gravity resulting from these ideas.
