From colored gravity to electromagnetism

TL;DR

This paper explores a classical-to-quantum bridge linking teleparallel gravity with SU(1,3) gauge theory, deriving electromagnetism as an abelian limit of a colored gravity framework using perturbations and matrix coordinates.

Contribution

It introduces a novel colored gravity model based on SU(1,3) gauge formalism that reproduces electromagnetism as a special case within teleparallel gravity.

Findings

Electromagnetism emerges from a colored gravity model as an abelian case.

Perturbed spacetime algebra is represented by matrices in the su(1,3) algebra.

A new approach to gauge potentials using horizon-based zero potential instead of infinity.

Abstract

The gauge formalism in \textit{telepalallel gravity} provides an interesting viewpoint to describe interactions according to an anholonomic observer's tetrad basis. Without going into assessing the complete viability of quantization in an early stage, this paper explores classical gravity within the framework of a classical-to-quantum bridge between the SU$(1, 3)$ Yang--Mills gauge formalism and the gauge-like treatment of teleparallel gravity. Specifically, the perturbed spacetime algebra with Weitzenb\"ock connection can be assimilated to a local complexification based on the SU$(1,3)$ Yang--Mills theory, what we call hypercolor or, simply, color. The formulation of the hypercolor dynamics is build by a translational gauge, as in the teleparallel gravities. In particular, this work analyses small perturbations of a metric decomposition related to the Wilson line and the Kaluza--Klein metric, but obtaining electrodynamics in four dimensions. The spacetime coordinates are now matrices that represent elements of the $\mathfrak{su}(1,3)$ algebra. To make compatible the formulation of a colored gravity with the Lorentz force and the Maxwell equations, it is enough to define every energy potential origin as 0 in the event horizon instead of the classic zero potential at infinity. Under the colored gravity framework, standard electromagnetism can be obtained as a particular abelian case.
