QG group meeting.
Speaker: Yasha Neiman.
Title: "New unified formulation of General Relativity and Yang-Mills".
I will describe a new, nicely unified formulation I found for GR plus Yang-Mills, which uses the same kind of variables for both (connection 1-form and left-handed curvature 0-form).
It combines Krasnov's chiral formulation of GR with the Chalmers-Siegel chiral formulation of Yang-Mills.
