The models are local but nonpolynomial in the gauge fields, with a nonpolynomial structure that can be elegantly written in terms of a metric (or vielbein) composed of the gauge fields. General relativity itself emerges from the construction as a gauge theory of spacetime translations. The role of the models within a general classification of consistent interactions of gauge fields is discussed as well.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2001-09-13T16:10:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gauge theory", "gauge fields", "general relativity", "conformal spacetime symmetries", "yang-mills theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
