Yang-Mills Sources In Biconformal Double Field Theory, Davis W. Muhwezi
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
There is a robust and unifying approach to unraveling the roiling mysteries of the universe. Our most compelling accounts of physical reality at present rest on symmetry arguments that are conspicuously geometrical!
105 years ago, Albert Einstein derived gravity from Riemannian geometry. In the general theory of relativity, the world of our experience is a pseudo-Riemannian manifold whose curvature represents the gravitational field. Encoded in the Einstein field equation is how matter sources (energy-momentum tensor) couple to gravity (spacetime curvature). Schematically, the Einstein equation exhibits a more general structure:
Curvature of Spacetime = Material Sources
On one side of the …
