Utiyama reformulation of Gravity

[mhill]

could anyone tell me where i could find a comprehensive introduction to Utiyama Mathematical reformulation of gravity ? .. thanks

It might help to look at Chapter 3 of Quantum Field Theory by Lewis Ryder. While he doesn't go into formulating gravity in terms of non-Abelian gauge theory. He did nice job drawing parallel between the two formalisms.

I found two papers by Utiyama on this subject,

1. Invariant theoretical interpretation of interaction.
Ryoyu Utiyama Published in Phys.Rev.101:1597-1607,1956.

2. Introduction To The Theory Of General Gauge Fields.
Ryoyu Utiyama. Published in Prog.Theor.Phys.64:2207,1980.

The second article should be more accessible than the first.

Indeed, It was actually Utiyama who was the first to point out this correspondence in 1956.

thanks everyone, although perhaps the peer-reviewed articles by Utiyama will be pay-per-view (if possible and someone can give me a link)
