General Relativity with a Positive Cosmological Constant Λ as a Gauge Theory

Abstract In this paper, we show that the general relativity action (and Lagrangian) in recent Einstein–Palatini formulation is equivalent in four dimensions to the action (and Langrangian) of a gauge field. First, we briefly showcase the Einstein–Palatini (EP) action, and then we present how Einstein fields equations can be derived from it. In the next section, we study Einstein–Palatini action integral for general relativity with a positive cosmological constant Λ in terms of the corrected curvature Ω c o r. We see that in terms of Ω c o r this action takes the form typical for a gauge field. Finally, we give a geometrical interpretation of the corrected curvature Ω c o r. View Full-Tex
