The essentially unique torsionful version of the classical two-component spinor formalisms of Infeld and van der Waerden is presented. All the metric spinors and connecting objects that arise here are formally the same as the ones borne by…

It is developed the considerations from (S. M. Min\v{c}i\'c, [14, 15]) about curvature tensors and pseudotensors for a non-symmetric affine connection space in this paper. How many kinds of covariant derivatives are enough to be defined for…
We introduce a new approach for computing curvature of sub-Riemannian manifolds. Curvature is here meant as symplectic invariants of Jacobi curves of geodesics, as introduced by Zelenko and Li. We describe how they can be expressed using a…
In general relativity the affine connection is required to be symmetric so torsion is zero while according to the Einsten- Cartan's theory torsion is connected to the spin tensor as expressed by the Cartan's equations. We consider the…
In general relativity the fermions are treated from the perspective of the gauged Lorentz group and by introducing the corresponding gauge fields the spin connection. This procedure is intimately related to the so-called "vielbein"…

In physics geometrical connections are the mean to create models with local symmetries (gauge connections), as well as general diffeomorphisms invariance (affine connections). Here we study the irreducible tensor decomposition of…

The n-th order covariant derivative on a smooth manifold with an affine connection is a differential operator which turns a function into a tensor field of type (0,n). In this paper the properties of this operatior related to the…

We show how to compute tensor derivatives and curvature tensors using affine connections. This allows for all computations to be obtained without using coordinate systems, in a way that parallels the computations appearing in classical…
In this part of the series I discuss the five-vector generalizations of affine connection and gauge fields. I also give definition to the exterior derivative of nonscalar-valued five-vector forms and consider the five-vector analogs of the…
We show that the covariant derivative of Dirac fermion fields in the presence of a general linear connection on a world manifold is universal for Einstein's, gauge and affine-metric gravitation theories.
For a smooth manifold $M$, it was shown in \cite{BPH} that every affine connection on the tangent bundle $TM$ naturally gives rise to covariant differentiation of multivector fields (MVFs) and differential forms along MVFs. In this paper,…
