The dark side of the torsion: Dark Energy from propagating torsion
David Benisty, Eduardo I. Guendelman, Armin van de Venn +3
An extension to the Einstein-Cartan (EC) action is discussed in terms of cosmological solutions. The torsion incorporated in the EC Lagrangian is assumed to be totally anti-symmetr…
Identity for scalar-valued functions of tensors and its applications to energy-momentum tensors in classical field theories and gravity
J. Struckmeier, A. van de Venn, D. Vasak
We prove a theorem on scalar-valued functions of tensors, where ``scalar'' refers to absolute scalars as well as relative scalars of weight . The present work thereby generalize…
Low-Redshift Constraints on Covariant Canonical Gauge Theory of Gravity
David Benisty, David Vasak, Johannes Kirsch +1
Constraints on the Covariant Canonical Gauge Gravity (CCGG) theory from low-redshift cosmology are studied. The formulation extends Einstein's theory of General Relativity (GR) by…
Covariant canonical gauge theory of gravitation for fermions
Jürgen Struckmeier, David Vasak
We derive the interaction of fermions with a dynamical space-time based on the postulate that the description of physics should be independent of the reference frame, which means t…
Rigorous derivation of dark energy and inflation as geometry effects in Covariant Canonical Gauge Gravity
David Vasak, Johannes Kirsch, Jürgen Struckmeier
The cosmological implications of the Covariant Canonical Gauge Theory of Gravity (CCGG) are investigated. CCGG is a Palatini theory derived from first principles using the canonica…
