Abstract

We derive and calculate the space-time translational gauge identities in quantum Yang-Mills gravity with a general class of gauge conditions involving two arbitrary parameters. These identities of the Abelian group of translation are a generalization of Ward-Takahasi-Fradkin identities and important for general discussions of possible renormalization of Yang-Mills gravity with translational gauge symmetry. The gauge identities in Yang-Mills gravity with a general class of gauge conditions are substantiated by explicit calculations.

The gravitational action is postulated to be invariant under the combined local SO(4,1) gauge and general coordinate transformation. But such a framework of curved space-time appears too general to carry out quantization of physical fields, in contrast to Yang-Mills gravity.) see also refs. 11.
