In searching for Quantum Gravity and/or Unification of Interactions/
Forces, physicists are now tending toward the Quantum rather than the
GR explanation of those searches or their goals, and a new paper by
Jong-Ping Hsu of U. Mass Dartmouth USA is no exception:

1) "Yang-Mills gravity in flat space-time, II. Gravitational
radiations and Lee-Yang force for accelerated cosmic expansion,"
arXiv: 1005.3250v1 [gr-qc] 18 May 2010, .

The keywords "Yang-Mills gravity" bring up 67 papers in arXiv,
including 6 in 2010.

Hsu has published papers in at least 2 books by World Scientific (2006
and 2007) and papers in Phys. Lett. A97 2005, Nuovo Cimento 91B
(1986), etc

The paper is especially interesting because it explains accelerated
cosmic expansion in the latest era without GR, and because it
clarifies exactly how Yang-Mills Gravity differs from GR including the
former involving flat rather than curved space-time, as well as being
a masterpiece of organization and discrimination in the sense of
comparing points of differences between YM and GR.

I do have a criticism of the Quantum Theory basis of Yang-Mills
Theory, since Quantum Theory in my view is a distortion of the real or
physical Universe based on its extreme microscopic "distance" from the
human level observer, just as GR has an extreme macroscopic "distance"
from the human level observer. But Yang-Mills Theory does seem to be
the best of the distorted theories up to now, and is a gauge theory.

I will try to discuss the paper of Hsu in more detail later.
