general relativity - Can all fundamental forces be fictitious forces?

After reading many questions, like this and this, I wonder:

Is it possible to consider the other fundamental forces too, the electroweak interaction and the strong interaction or ultimately the unification of these, to be fictitious forces like gravity in the framework of general relativity?

If we want a final unification of all fundamental forces, hasn't this feature of gravity to become a feature of the other forces as well?

Answer

The classical theory of electrodynamics can indeed be written as a geometrical theory in a similar way to general relativity. As it happens there is a question and answer addressing just this, but it's in the Maths SE: Electrodynamics in general spacetime.

Classical electrodynamics is an example of a class of theories called classical Yang-Mills gauge theories, though Maxwell didn't realise this as the Yang-Mills theories were first described in 1954. These are geometric theories like general relativity, though note that GR is not a Yang-Mills theory - if it was we'd probably have quantised it by now. There are various introductions to Yang-Mills theory around, and a quick Google found this introduction (350KB PDF) that seems pretty good. The theories use a curvature tensor, though this is different to the Riemann tensor used in GR.

Quantising the Yang-Mills classical theory gives quantum electrodynamics i.e. the quantum field theory describing electrodynamics. The weak and strong forces are also quantum Yang-Mills theories, though in these two cases there is no useful classical theory.

Christoph points out in a comment that there is an alternative route to a geometric theory of electrodynamics. In 1919 Theodor Kaluza pointed out that if general relativity was formulated in 5 dimensions (4 space and 1 time) the theory incorporated electrodynamics. This approach was built upon by Oskar Klein and is now known as Kaluza-Klein theory. However the theory requires there to be extra dimensions of space, and in any case the electrodynamic bit of the theory is really a Yang-Mills theory in disguise.
