100 Years of Gravity and Accelerated Frames: The Deepest Insights of Einstein and Yang-mills

This collection of papers presents ideas and problems arising over the past 100 years regarding classical and quantum gravity, gauge theories of gravity, and spacetime transformations of accelerated frames. Both Einstein's theory of gravity and the Yang–Mills theory are gauge invariant. The invariance principles in physics have transcended both kinetic and dynamic properties and are at the very heart of our understanding of the physical world. In this spirit, this book attempts to survey the development of various formulations for gravitational and Yang–Mills fields and spacetime transformations of accelerated frames, and to reveal their associated problems and limitations.
