Einstein-Cartan theory is formulated in (1+2)-dimensions using the algebra of exterior differential forms. A Dirac spinor is coupled to gravity and the field equations are obtained by a variational principle. The space-time torsion is found…
In this paper we consider second-order field theories in a variational setting. From the variational principle the Euler-Lagrange equations follow in an unambiguous way, but it is well known that this is not true for the Cartan form. This…
Skew-symmetric differential forms play an unique role in mathematics and mathematical physics. This relates to the fact that closed exterior skew-symmetric differential forms are invariants. The concept of "Exterior differential forms" was…
