Teleparallelism

Abstract

According to Feynman (1962/63) (Feynman, Lectures on gravitation, 1962/63), “gravity is that field which corresponds to a gauge invariance with respect to displacement transformations.” Taking this literally would favor Einstein’s teleparallelism equivalent of GR, which has been recast Mielke (1992) (Mielke, Ann Phys 219(1), 78–108, 1992); Mielke, Baekler, Hehl, Macías & Morales-Técotl (1996) (Mielke et al. Gravity particles and space-time, 1996) into a Yang–Mills-type gauge theory of translations.
