Teleparallel Gravity: Some Insights and Achievements | |||||
| Coauthors | ||||||||

Abstract |
Teleparallel gravity, a gauge theory for the translation group, turns up as fully equivalent to Einstein's general relativity. In spite of this equivalence, it provides a whole new insight into gravitation. It breaks several paradigms related to the geometric approach of general relativity, and introduces new concepts in the description of the gravitational interaction. The purpose of this seminar is to explore some of these concepts, as well as discuss possible consequences for gravitation. |
