On (Some) Gauge Theories of Gravity
Abstract
Abstract I consider the sense in which teleparallel gravity and symmetric teleparallel gravity may be understood as gauge theories of gravity. I first argue that both theories have surplus structure. I then consider the relationship between Yang–Mills theory and Poincaré gauge theory and argue that although these use similar formalisms, there are subtle disanalogies in their interpretation.
