The usual derivation of Einstein's field equations from the Einstein--Hilbert action is performed by silently assuming the metric tensor's symmetric character. If this symmetry is not assumed, the result is a new theory, such as Einstein's…

The anholonomic frame method is generalized for non--Riemannian gravity models defined by string corrections to the general relativity and metric-affine gravity (MAG) theories. Such spacetime configurations are modeled as metric-affine…

We study general relativity in the framework of non-commutative differential geometry. In particular, we introduce a gravity action for a space-time which is the product of a four dimensional manifold by a two-point space. In the simplest…
