Abstract
Attempts to devise a quantum theory of gravity consistent with the standard model have so far been unsuccessful; however, it is widely agreed that gravity can be described as a non-abelian gauge theory, and that the particle mediating the gravitational force (the graviton) would be a spin-2 boson. Under certain circumstances it is possible for gauge symmetries to emerge from theories containing only physical symmetries. It can also be shown that the gauge theories characteristic of the standard model are low energy approximations emerging from more fundamental principles\cite{witten}. While it ...
