    A Unified Gravity-Electroweak Model Based on a Generalized Yang-Mills Framework

    Full text link
    Gravitational and electroweak interactions can be unified in analogy with the unification in the Weinberg-Salam theory. The Yang-Mills framework is generalized to include space-time translational group T(4), whose generators T_{\mu}(=\p/\p x^{\mu}) do not have constant matrix representations. By gauging T(4)×SU(2)×U(1)T(4) \times SU(2) \times U(1) in flat space-time, we have a new tensor field ϕμν\phi_{\mu\nu} which universally couples to all particles and anti-particles with the same constant gg, which has the dimension of length. In this unified model, the T(4) gauge symmetry dictates that all wave equations of fermions, massive bosons and the photon in flat space-time reduce to a Hamilton-Jacobi equation with the same `effective Riemann metric tensor' in the geometric-optics limit. Consequently, the results are consistent with experiments. We demonstrated that the T(4) gravitational gauge field can be quantized in inertial frames.Comment: 12 pages.

    Space-time translational gauge identities in Abelian Yang-Mills gravity

    Full text link
    We derive and calculate the space-time translational gauge identities in quantum Yang-Mills gravity with a general class of gauge conditions involving two arbitrary parameters. These identities of the Abelian group of translation are a generalization of Ward-Takahasi-Fradkin identities and important for general discussions of possible renormalization of Yang-Mills gravity with translational gauge symmetry. The gauge identities in Yang-Mills gravity with a general class of gauge conditions are substantiated by explicit calculations.Comment: 15 pages.

    Quantum Yang-Mills gravity in flat space-time and effective curved space-time for motions of classical objects

    Full text link
    Yang-Mills gravity with translational gauge group T(4) in flat space-time implies a simple self-coupling of gravitons and a truly conserved energy-momentum tensor. Its consistency with experiments crucially depends on an interesting property that an `effective Riemannian metric tensor' emerges in and only in the geometric-optics limit of the photon and particle wave equations. We obtain Feynman rules for a coupled graviton-fermion system, including a general graviton propagator with two gauge parameters and the interaction of ghost particles. The equation of motion of macroscopic objects, as an N-body system, is demonstrated as the geometric-optics limit of the fermion wave equation. We discuss a relativistic Hamilton-Jacobi equation with an `effective Riemann metric tensor' for the classical particles.Comment: 20 pages, to be published in "The European Physical Journal - Plus"(2011).

    Weighted sampling of outer products

    Full text link
    This note gives a simple analysis of the randomized approximation scheme for matrix multiplication of Drineas et al (2006) with a particular sampling distribution over outer products. The result follows from a matrix version of Bernstein's inequality. To approximate the matrix product ABAB^\top to spectral norm error εAB\varepsilon\|A\|\|B\|, it suffices to sample on the order of (sr(A)sr(B))log(sr(A)sr(B))/ε2(\mathrm{sr}(A) \vee \mathrm{sr}(B)) \log(\mathrm{sr}(A) \wedge \mathrm{sr}(B)) / \varepsilon^2 outer products, where sr(M)\mathrm{sr}(M) is the stable rank of a matrix MM
