Dynamical torsion gravity backgrounds

Abstract

We write the field equations of torsion gravity theories and the Nœther identity they obey directly in terms of metric and contorsion tensor components expressed with respect to natural coordinates, i.e. without using vierbien but Lagrange multipliers. Then we obtain explicit solutions of these equations, under specific ansätze for the contorsion field, by assuming the metric to be respectively of the Bertotti-Robinson, pp-wave, Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker or static spherically symmetric type. Among these various solutions we obtain some of them have their contorsion tensor depending on arbitrary functions that didn't influence their geometry. This raises question about the predictability of the theory.
