Generalized lorentz group of space-time transformations

Abstract

We examine how Lorentz Symmetry (LS) breaks down in Yarman-Arik-Kholmetskii (YARK) theory of gravitation through an entirely different mechanism than that under metric theories of gravity. Said mechanism can be right away extended to all other fields of interaction under Yarman’s Approach that forms the basis of YARK theory. The result is the disclosure of a new “Generalized Lorentz Group” of space-time transformations which contains an additional parameter denoting the interactional energy per unit mass. Hence, the core finding herein is that the Minkowskian metric for an empty space-time should, when one is in the presence of gravity or any other force field, be replaced by general equalities involving a novel coupling parameter for either attraction or repulsion..
