Abstract:
The main defect of Einstein equations – non geometrical right part – is eliminated. The key concept of equidual tensor is introduced. It appeared to be in a close relation both with Einstein's equations, and with Yang–Mills equations. The criterion of equidual basic affinor of conformal connection manifold without torsion is received. Decomposition of the basic affinor into a sum of equidual, conformally invariant and irreducible summands is found. A. Z. Petrov's algebraic classification is generalized. Einstein equations are given a new variational foundation and their geometrical nature is found. Geometric sense of acceleration and dilatation gauge transformations is specified.
Keywords:Einstein equations, Yang–Mills equations, Hodge operator, Maxwell's equations, manifold of conformal connection with torsion and without torsion.
