摘要: Abstract Further consequences of a finite topological field theory for gravity based on the SL ( 5 , R ) gauge group are reported. After symmetry breaking, it induces four-dimensional Einstein spaces with cosmological constant related to tiny scale breaking. It is shown that not only ‘background’ metric emerges from Higgs-like mechanism, but also consistently geodesic equation central Einsteinʼs equivalence principle. In next order breaking scale, induced torsion could even provoke Lorentz violation.
