Conservation laws in gauge gravity theory

Abstract

We analyze the conservation laws in the gauge gravity theory which are derived for the general class of gravitational models with the action invariant under the local Poincaré and the diffeomorphism group. The consistent Noether-Lagrange formalism is developed, revealing the important role of the auxiliary Goldstone and Stueckelberg fields, with the help of which we construct the composite gauge fields that have a clear geometrical and physical meaning.
