Post-Newtonian Generation of Gravitational Waves in a Theory of Gravity with Torsion

M. Schweizer, N. Straumann, A. Wipf

We adapt the post-Newtonian gravitational-radiation methods developed within general relativity by Epstein and Wagoner to the gravitation theory with torsion, recently proposed by…
