A Generalized Gauge Theory of Gravity
  In this paper, we discuss a gravitational theory based on the generalized gauge field. Our Lagrangian is invariant not only under local Lorentz transformation and the ordinary gauge transformation but also under a new gauge transformation. We show that the gauge field associated with this new transformation is a second-rank tensor field and that the Einstein-Hilbert term can be derived from our Lagrangian when the gauge field has a vacuum expectation value. We also show that our model provides a Lagrangian for the scalar-tensor theory.
