Path Group in gauge theory and gravity

Abstract

Applications of the Path Group (consisting of classes of continuous curves in Minkowski space-time) to gauge theory and gravity are reviewed. Covariant derivatives are interpreted as generators of an induced representation of Path Group. Non-Abelian generalization of Stokes theorem is naturally formulated and proved in terms of paths. Quantum analogue of Equivalence Principle is formulated in terms of Path Group and Feynman path integrals.
