The approach to gravity as a theory of embedded surface

Abstract: We study the approach to gravity in which our curved spacetime is considered as a surface in a flat ambient space of higher dimension (the embedding theory). The dynamical variable in this theory is not a metric but an embedding function. The Euler-Lagrange equations for this theory (Regge-Teitelboim equations) are more general than the Einstein equations, and admit "extra solutions" which do not correspond to any Einsteinian metric. The Regge-Teitelboim equations can be explicitly analyzed for the solutions w… Show more

“…We see that, in this case, which is analogous to the one considered in Section 2.2, the extension of dynamics occurs as a result of the DFT in Equation (29). Furthermore, as in Section 2.2, the dynamics coincides with the original one if τ µν = 0 in an arbitrary moment of time (or at arbitrary value of any coordinate, see [15]). However, it was shown in [35] that the conservation of dynamics can be achieved (with certain technical assumptions) by imposing a much weaker condition…”

“…We consider this model as an intermediate stage before formulating a consistent field theory that 250 takes into account the approaches of local isometric embedding's methods. These methods were considered in [44][45][46][47]. From these researches it follows that each manifold requires a separate study on "embedding" , which makes it difficult to develop a general theory used for comparison with the observed data.…”

“…Note that without loss of generality one can assume that a, b ≥ 0. The polynomial (25) is positive at r → ∞ if al < 1, so we assume it. Let us consider the quotient of (25) and the positive quantity b 2 (1 − a 2 l 2 )(l 2 + r 2 ):…”
