Metric-affine f(R) theories of gravity
General Relativity assumes that spacetime is fully described by the metric alone. An alternative is the so called Palatini formalism where the metric and the connections are taken as independent quantities. The metric-affine theory of gravity has attracted considerable attention recently, since it was shown that within this framework some cosmological models, based on some generalized gravitati...
متن کاملThe metric-affine formalism of f(R) gravity
Recently a class of alternative theories of gravity which goes under the name f(R) gravity, has received considerable attention, mainly due to its interesting applications in cosmology. However, the phenomenology of such theories is not only relevant to cosmological scales, especially when it is treated within the framework of the so called Palatini variation, an independent variation with resp...
متن کاملQuadratic metric-affine gravity
We consider spacetime to be a connected real 4-manifold equipped with a Lorentzian metric and an affine connection. The 10 independent components of the (symmetric) metric tensor and the 64 connection coefficients are the unknowns of our theory. We introduce an action which is quadratic in curvature and study the resulting system of Euler–Lagrange equations. In the first part of the paper we lo...
متن کاملString and Metric–Affine Gravity
We develop the method of anholonomic frames with associated nonlinear connec-tion (in brief, N–connection) structure and show explicitly how geometries with lo-cal anisotropy (various type of Finsler–Lagrange–Cartan–Hamilton geometry) can bemodeled in the metric–affine spaces. There are formulated the criteria when such gen-eralized Finsler metrics are effectively induced in the...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional metric-affine gravity
There is a number of completely integrable gravity theories in two dimensions. We study the metric-affine approach on a 2-dimensional spacetime and display a new integrable model. Its properties are described and compared with the known results of Poincaré gauge gravity. PACS: 04.50.+h, 04.20.Fy, 04.20.Jb, 04.60.Kz, 02.30.Ik
