Article Description

A discussion is given of the gravitational anomalies that arise from coupling Weyl spinors to gravity, treating the metric, the soldering form, and the connection as independent dynamical variables. This system is strictly analogous to Weyl spinors coupled to Yang-Mills fields and a nonlinear sigma model. The larger gauge group of this formulation is seen to lie at the root of the equivalence between Einstein and Lorentz anomalies. © 1986 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
