Linearized Torsion Waves in a Tensor-Tensor Theory of Gravity

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2008-07-02 v2

Abstract

We investigate a linearized tensor-tensor theory of gravity with torsion and a perturbed torsion wave solution is discovered in background Minkowski spacetime with zero torsion. Furthermore, gauge transformations of any perturbed tensor field are derived in general background non-Riemannian geometries. By calculating autoparallel deviations, both longitudinal and transverse polarizations of the torsion wave are discovered.
