Abstract
Unified theories of all the elementary fields (both fermionic and bosonic, with the gravity as a gauge field of the Poincare symmetry included) are a promising framework for studying the basic open questions of the elementary particles physics, quantum gravity and cosmology. Predictions of such theories are of extreme importance for new extremely expensive and sophisticated experiments, which are in preparation (and in which also Slovenian physicists collaborate). The present project proposes further development of the (original) approach (proposed by the leader of the project) unifying spins and charges (and accordingly all the interactions) in the space of the anticommuting coordinates, differential forms or Clifford object, as we believe that this approach has real chances to help to answer the open questions of the two Standard models. The project proposes also the study of predictions of the approach unifying spins and charges. For the unifying theory of all the gauge fields is of a special importance for studying gravity as a gauge field of the Poincare group, the role of gravity as a gauge theory at both classical and quantum level in the unification process will be studied, as well as the related generalizations to strings and membranes in higher dimensions.
