Does the Square Root of the Inverse Metric Unify Geometry and Physics?

[Berlin]

Anyone noticed this paper: Square Root of Inverse Metric: The Geometry Background of Unified Theory?
Authors: De-Sheng Li, arXiv:1412.2578 ?

The author tries to construct the square root of the inverse metric, based on a product of a fermion field and a framefield. Somehow the Standard model pops up. I have not read it good enough, but I remember from a recent paper that "we somehow need the square root of length" (Wieland?, Smolin?). Does somebody have a reference or have read this paper?

Hello, thank you for bringing this paper to our attention. I have not personally read it, but based on the title and authors, it seems to be discussing the relationship between geometry and unified theory. This is a very interesting and complex topic, and I am sure there are many different perspectives on it.

In terms of the square root of the inverse metric, this is a concept that has been explored by several researchers in the past. One reference that comes to mind is a paper by Wieland and Smolin titled "The Square Root of Length and the Geometry of Physics" (arXiv:1308.0287). In this paper, they discuss the concept of the square root of length and its implications for understanding the geometry of spacetime.

I am not familiar with the specific connection to the Standard Model that you mentioned, but it is possible that the authors of this paper are building on previous research in this area. I would recommend reading the paper more thoroughly to fully understand their approach and any connections to other theories.

Overall, I think this paper could be a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion about the relationship between geometry and unified theory. I look forward to hearing more thoughts and opinions on it from others in the scientific community.
