<p>[00:51:34] In addition to all of that freedom is some means of taking away some of the redundancy that comes with that freedom, which is the action of the gauge group.

<p>[00:52:03] If I act on connections on the right and then take the Einstein projection, this is not equal to first taking the projection and then conjugating with the gauge action. So the problem is, is that the projection is based on the fact that you have a relationship between the intrinsic geometry.

So the problem is, is that the projection is based on the fact that you have a relationship between the intrinsic geometry. If this is an ad-valued two-form, the two-form portion of this and the adjoint portion of this are both associated to the structure group of the tangent bundle. | ||
<p>[00:52:52] But the gauge rotation is only acting on one of the two factors. Yet the projection is making use of both of them. So there is a fundamental incompatibility in the claim that Einstein's theory is a gauge theory relies more on analogy than an exact mapping between the two theories. What about the incompatibilities between the Einstein theory of general relativity and the Dirac theory of matter? | <p>[00:52:52] But the gauge rotation is only acting on one of the two factors.
