Abstract

In a microscopical theory of gravity the coupling of internal gauge degrees of freedom to those of space-time are studied. A magnetic-monopole-type solution for the coupledSO(3) Yang-Mills-Higgs system in a space-time with curvature and torsion is derived. The coupling constant of the Lorentz gauge bosons can be related directly to the (constant) Higgs field and to the “cosmological constant” which is induced by the quadratic curvature terms in the Lagrangian. This reveals a new interpretation of the parameters entering the general Lagrangian density of the Poincare gauge field theory (PG).
