Locally Inertial Reference Frames in Lorentzian and Riemann-Cartan Spacetimes
J. F. T. Giglio, W. A. Rodrigues
In this paper we scrutinize the concept of locally inertial reference frames (LIRF) in Lorentzian and Riemann-Cartan spacetime structures. We present rigorous mathematical definiti…

Riemann-Cartan Connection and its Decomposition. One More Assessment of "ECE Theory"
J. Fernando T. Giglio, Waldyr A. Rodrigues
In this short pedagogical note we clarify some subtleties concerning the symmetries of the coefficients of a Riemann-Cartan connection and the symmetries of the coefficients of the…

Gravitation and Electromagnetism as Geometrical Objects of a Riemann-Cartan Spacetime Structure
J. Fernando T. Giglio, Waldyr A. Rodrigues
In this paper we first show that any coupled system consisting of a gravitational plus a free electromagnetic field can be described geometrically in the sense that both Maxwell eq…
