Toward Singularity Theorems with Torsion

Armin van de Venn, Ujjwal Agarwal, David Vasak

This study examines the formulation of a singularity theorem for timelike curves including torsion, and establishes the foundational framework necessary for its derivation. We begi…

On CCGG, the De Donder-Weyl Hamiltonian formulation of canonical gauge gravity

D. Vasak, J. Kirsch, A. van de Venn +2

This paper gives a brief overview of the manifestly covariant canonical gauge gravity (CCGG) that is rooted in the De Donder-Weyl Hamiltonian formulation of relativistic field theo…

Torsion driving cosmic expansion

Johannes Kirsch, David Vasak, Armin van de Venn +1

We study a cosmological model based on the canonical Hamiltonian transformation theory. Using a linear-quadratic approach for the free gravitational De Donder-Weyl Hamiltonian $H_\…

Torsional dark energy in quadratic gauge gravity

Armin van de Venn, David Vasak, Johannes Kirsch +1

The Covariant Canonical Gauge theory of Gravity (CCGG) is a gauge field formulation of gravity which a priori includes non-metricity and torsion. It extends the Lagrangian of Einst…

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…
