General relativity as a special case of Poincaré gauge gravity

Abstract

We demonstrate that Einstein's general relativity theory arises as a special case in the framework of the Poincaré gauge theory of gravity under the assumption of a suitable nonminimal coupling of matter to the Riemann-Cartan geometry of spacetime.
