On solutions of Einstein and Einstein-Yang-Mills equations with (maximal) conformal subsymmetries (Q2266467): Difference between revisions

We consider the maximal subgroups of the conformal group (which have in common as a subgroup the group of pure spatial rotations) as isometry groups of conformally flat space-times. We identify the corresponding cosmological solutions of Einstein's field equations. For each of them, we investigate the possibility that it could be generated by an SU(2) Yang-Mills field built, via the Corrigan-Fairlie-t'Hooft-Wilczek ansatz, from a scalar field identical with the square root of the conformal factor defining the space-time metric tensor. In particular, the Einstein cosmological model can be generated in this manner, but in the framework of strong gravity only, a micro-Einstein universe being then viewed as a possible model for a hadron.
