Abstract

An alternative method of identifying base-space and fiber tensors is presented and is used to describe interacting Dirac and Yang-Mills fields with “internal affine symmetry.” In a separate construction, the cosmological constant is derived from the fiber bundle structure of a generalized theory of Poincaré gauge symmetry. Mathematical foundations of the computations are discussed.
