Metric-Affine Version of Myrzakulov Gravity and Cosmological Applications

arXiv:2106.05083

Abstract

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 consider theories whose gravitational Lagrangian is given by where , are the torsion and non-metricity scalars, is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor and the divergence of the dilation current. We then consider the linear case of the aforementioned theory and assuming a cosmological setup we obtain the modified Friedmann equations. In addition, focusing on the vanishing non-metricity sector and considering matter coupled to torsion we obtain the complete set of equations describing the cosmological behaviour of this model along with solutions.
