Covariant canonical gauge theory of gravitation for fermions.
2021
We derive the interaction of fermions with a dynamical space-time based on the postulate that the description of physics should be independent of the reference frame, which means to require the form-invariance of the fermion action under diffeomorphisms. The derivation is worked out in the Hamiltonian formalism as a canonical transformation along the line of non-Abelian gauge theories. This yields a closed set of field equations for fermions, unambiguously fixing their coupling to dynamical space-time. We encounter, in addition to the well-known minimal coupling, anomalous couplings to curvature and torsion. In torsion-free geometries that anomalous interaction reduces to a Pauli-type coupling with the curvature scalar via a spontaneously emerged new coupling constant with the dimension of mass. A consistent model Hamiltonian for the free gravitational field and the impact of its functional form on the structure of the dynamical geometry space-time is discussed.
