Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 4851–4854 (1998)Riemann-Einstein Structure from Volume and Gauge SymmetryReceived 20 February 1998; published in the issue dated 1 June 1998 It is shown how a metric structure can be induced in a simple way starting with a gauge structure and a preferred volume, by spontaneous symmetry breaking. A polynomial action, including coupling to matter, is constructed for the symmetric phase. It is argued that assuming a preferred volume, in the context of a metric theory, induces only a limited modification of the theory. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
