The definition of relevant physical quantities (torsion, curvature, non-metricity, tetrads, connection fields etc.) and important geometry concepts are also included. The main body of the book is devoted to a detailed derivation of the gauge theory of gravitation for scalar, vector (Proca and Maxwell) and Dirac spinor fields. Alternative approaches based on the Noether theorem and on the spinorial representation of the fields are also addressed, as well as important novel features related to the CCGG framework (Birkhoff theorem, field derivative identities etc.). In the last section of the volume the application of the CCGG theory to cosmology will be set out, resulting in a new understanding of dark energy and inflation. .FIAS Interdisciplinary Science Series,2522-8919Elementary particles (Physics)Quantum field theoryGravitationCosmologyElementary Particles, Quantum Field TheoryClassical and Quantum GravityCosmologyElementary particles (Physics).Quantum field theory.Gravitation.Cosmology.Elementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory.Classical and Quantum Gravity.Cosmology.530.14Vasak David1437888Struckmeier Jürgen1437889Kirsch Johannes1437890MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910760276803321Covariant Canonical Gauge Gravity3598715UNINA
