GRAVITATION: SL(2,C) GAUGE THEORY AND CONSERVATION LAWS
by M Carmeli, E Leibowitz & N Nissani (Ben-Gurion Univ., Israel)
This monograph gives a comprehensive presentation of the SL(2,C) Gauge Theory of Gravitation along with some recent developments in the problem of Conservation Laws in General Relativity. Emphasis is put on quadratic Lagrangians which yield the Einstein field equations, as compared with Hilbert's original linear Langrangian, thus gravitation follows the other Gauge Fields all of which are derived from nonlinear Lagrangians.
