Abstract:

The post-Minkowskian approximation of the N-body problem of general relativity has been recently analysed by Luc Blanchet and the speaker[1]. The ultrarelativistic limit of the above formulation in the particular case of two equal masses yields a formula for the underlying force which has characteristics of the strong force, including confinement and asymptotic freedom[2]. This result is consistent with the iconoclastic model of particle physics of C Vayenas.
