Gravity as Lorentz Force

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel theory where gravity is described as the Lorentz force resulting from an electromagnetic field, using a symmetric affine connection on Minkowski space.

Contribution

It introduces a new perspective by modeling gravity as an electromagnetic Lorentz force via a symmetric affine connection, differing from traditional metric-based approaches.

Findings

Gravity modeled as Lorentz force of electromagnetic field

Connection coefficients identified with electromagnetic potential

Provides a unified geometric framework for gravity and electromagnetism

Abstract

The main object of the proposed theory is not a pseudometric, but a symmetric affine connection on the Minkowski space. The coefficients of this connection have one upper and two lower indices. These coefficients are symmetric with respect to the permutation of the lower indices. We identify the convolution of the connection coefficients with the vector - potential of the electromagnetic field. Then the gravity is the Lorentz force of this electromagnetic field.
