Consistent first order action functional for gauge theories

Published 13 Nov 2023 in hep-th, gr-qc, and hep-ph | (2311.07464v2)

Abstract: A novel first order action principle has been proposed as the possible foundation for a more fundamental theory of General Relativity and the Standard Model. It is shown in this article that the proposal consistently incorporates gravity and matter fields, and guides to a new and robust path towards unification of fundamental interactions.
