torsion again I have another question about torsion, maybe someone can help me. I have been studying the Einstein-Cartan extension of general relativity and I have seen that apparently (as far as I know) no one reports the mathetical procedure one has to follow in order to derive the field...

What's the matter with the "answer"? Anyway, does someone know anything more about the issue I have exposed?

Thank you for the answer. I've read on the paper "General Relativity with torsion: Extending Wald's Chapter on Curvature", the following sentence: "...If T^{z} _{xy}>0 (where T^{z} _{xy} is the torsion tensor), parallel transport along the x direction will cause v (parallely transported...

I'm interested in the derivation of the field equations of Einstein-Cartan theory of gravity starting from the Hilbert action, but I can't find a book or an article which explicitly derives the equation satisfied by the torsion field using the variation of the action with respect to the spin...

Hi, I've been studying extensions of general relativity with the torsion tensor and I have been wondering about the following fact: what is the physical meaning of the three indices of this tensor? That is, do these three indices represent some directions in space? (For example, the translation...
