Matter Lagrangians Coupled with Connections

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2011-01-05 v2

Abstract

We shall here consider extended theories of gravitation in the metric-affine formalism with matter coupled directly to the connection. A sufficiently general procedure will be exhibited to solve the resulting field equation associated to the connection. As special cases one has the no-coupling case (which is standard in f(R) literature) as well as the cases already analyzed in ref.[1].
