The relationship between the Einstein and Yang-Mills equations (Q1037093)

The Yang-Mills equations on a four-dimensional conformally connected manifold represent a system of sixty differential equations in sixty functions on four variables. This system is always consistent, yet, it is very rigid. However, if tensor constraints are added, the Yang-Mills equation system can be simplified because the number of unknown functions becomes smaller. In particular, in a \textit{chargeless} conformally connected space, the number of unknown functions reduces to twenty. These functions are coefficients of two quadratic forms, one of them can be interpreted as a potential of the gravitational field, and the other one as the matter tensor. Then, a closed system of gravitational equations are obtained, where the metric is related to the energy-momentum tensor via Einstein equations, and the energy-momentum tensor itself satisfies a system of differential equations which depends on the metric. In this paper, the authors prove that special requirements to Yang-Mills equations on a four dimensional conformally connected manifold allow to reduce them to a system of Einstein equations and additional ones that bind components of the energy-impulse tensor. An algorithm that gives conditions for the embedding of the metric of the gravitational field into a special (uncharged) Yang-Mills conformally connected manifold, is proposed. As an application of this algorithm it is proved that the metric of any Einstein space and the Robertson-Walker metric are embeddable into the specified manifold.
