Details We propose a Lorentz-covariant Yang-Mills “spin-gauge” theory, where the function-valued Pauli matrices play the role of a nonscalar Higgs field. As symmetry group we choose SU(2) × U(1) of the 2-spinors describing particle/antiparticle states. After symmetry breaking, a nonscalar Lorentz-covariant Higgsfield gravity appears, which can be interpreted within a classical limit as Einstein's metrical theory of gravity, where we restrict ourselves in a first step to its linearized version.
