Metric-affine Myrzakulov gravity theories

N Myrzakulov, R Myrzakulov, L Ravera - Symmetry, 2021 - mdpi.com
In this paper, we review the so-called Myrzakulov Gravity models (MG-N, with N= I, II,…, VIII)
and derive their respective metric-affine generalizations (MAMG-N), discussing also their …

Coupling metric-affine gravity to the standard model and dark matter fermions

C Rigouzzo, S Zell - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
General relativity (GR) exists in different formulations, which are equivalent in pure gravity.
Once matter is included, however, observable predictions generically depend on the version …

Coupling metric-affine gravity to a Higgs-like scalar field

C Rigouzzo, S Zell - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
General relativity (GR) exists in different formulations. They are equivalent in pure gravity but
generically lead to distinct predictions once matter is included. After a brief overview of …

Einstein-Proca theory from the Einstein-Cartan formulation

W Barker, S Zell - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We construct a theory of gravity in which a propagating massive vector field arises from a
quadratic curvature invariant. The Einstein-Cartan formulation and a partial suppression of …

Metric-Affine Version of Myrzakulov F(R,T,Q,𝒯) Gravity and Cosmological Applications

D Iosifidis, N Myrzakulov, R Myrzakulov - universe, 2021 - mdpi.com
We derive the full set of field equations for the metric-affine version of the Myrzakulov gravity
model and also extend this family of theories to a broader one. More specifically, we …

Cosmology of quadratic metric-affine gravity

D Iosifidis, L Ravera - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We investigate the cosmological aspects of the most general parity preserving Metric-Affine
Gravity theory quadratic in torsion and nonmetricity in the presence of a cosmological …

A Purely Gravitational Origin for Einstein-Proca Theory

W Barker, S Zell - arXiv preprint arXiv:2306.14953, 2023 - arxiv.org
We construct a theory of gravity in which a propagating massive vector field arises from a
quadratic curvature invariant. The Einstein-Cartan formulation and a partial suppression of …

Consistent particle physics in metric-affine gravity from extended projective symmetry

W Barker, S Zell - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.14917, 2024 - arxiv.org
It is well-known that the Einstein-Hilbert action exhibits a projective invariance in metric-
affine gravity, generated by a single vector (just like diffeomorphisms). However, this …

J Kirsch, D Vasak, A van de Venn… - The European Physical …, 2023 - Springer
We study a cosmological model based on the canonical Hamiltonian transformation theory.
Using a linear-quadratic approach for the free gravitational De Donder–Weyl …

Metric-Affine Vector–Tensor correspondence and implications in F (R, T, Q, T, D) gravity

We extend the results of antecedent literature on quadratic Metric-Affine Gravity by studying
a new quadratic gravity action in vacuum which, besides the usual (non-Riemannian) …
