The theory of integral geometry has mainly treated identities between integral invariants of submanifolds in Riemannian homogeneous spaces like as dμg(g) where M and N are submanifolds in a Riemannian homogeneous spaces of a Lie group G and I(M ∩ gN) is an integral invariant of M ∩ gN. For example Poincaré’s formula is one of typical identities in integral geometry, which is as follows. We denote by M(R2) the identity component of the group of isometries of the plane R2 with a suitable invariant measure μM(R2).

Abstract A definition of a convolution of tensor fields on group manifolds is given, which is then generalised to generic homogeneous spaces. This is applied to the product of gauge fields in the context of ‘gravity = gauge × gauge’. In particular, it is shown that the linear Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) gauge transformations of two Yang-Mills gauge fields generate the linear BRST diffeomorphism transformations of the graviton. This facilitates the definition of the ‘gauge × gauge’ convolution product on, for example, the static Einstein universe, and more generally for ultrastatic spacetimes with compact spatial slices.
