Inflation with Nieh-Yan-like terms in metric-affine gravity
Ilaria Andrei, Christian Dioguardi, Damianos Iosifidis +3
We study single-field slow-roll inflation in metric-affine gravity with a scalar field non-minimally coupled to the non-Riemannian Ricci scalar and to the divergences of the torsio…
Friedmann cosmology with fluids and hyperfluids
Ilaria Andrei, Damianos Iosifidis, Laur Järv +1
We discuss flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric-affine cosmology where the metric and connection as well as the matter energy-momentum and hypermomentum all obey…
Friedmann cosmology with hyperfluids of constant equation of state
Ilaria Andrei, Damianos Iosifidis, Laur Järv +1
We discuss some aspects of cosmology in metric-affine theories of gravity where metric and affine connection are independent variables. Such constructions, apart from the usual ene…
Friedmann cosmology with hyperfluids
Ilaria Andrei, Damianos Iosifidis, Laur Järv +1
In metric-affine gravity, both the gravitational and matter actions depend not just on the metric, but also on the independent affine connection. Thus matter can be modeled as a hy…
