Gauge Theories of Gravity  

In General > s.a. gauge theory; gravity / higher-order theories; linearized gravity; supersymmetric field theories.
* Idea: The variables are gauge fields in flat spacetime, a tetrad (translational potential) and a connection (rotational potential).
* In terms of symmetry breaking: The n-dimensional general relativity symmetry group GL(n, \(\mathbb R\)) is broken to the Lorentz group.
