On an integrable geometrical foundation of gravity
Abstract
In a talk at the conference Geometrical Foundations of Gravity at Tartu 2017, it was suggested that the affine spacetime connection could be associated with purely fictitious forces. This leads to gravitation in a flat and smooth geometry. Fermions are found to nevertheless couple with the metrical connection and a phase gauge field. The theory is reviewed in this proceeding, in a Palatini and in a metric-affine gauge formulation.
