We show that the torsion of a Cartan geometry can be associated to two spin-2 fields. This structure allows a new approach to deal with the proposal of geometrization of spin-2 fields besides the traditional one dealt with in General…

Previous work in the literature has studied the Hamiltonian structure of an R-squared model of gravity with torsion in a closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe. Within the framework of Dirac's theory, torsion is found to lead to a…

We propose a category of bundles in order to perform Lagrangian reduction by stages in covariant Field Theory. This category plays an analogous role to Lagrange-Poincar\'e bundles in Lagrangian reduction by stages in Mechanics and includes…

The Hamiltonian reduction of the massless spin-two field theory is carried out following the Faddeev-Jackiw approach. The reduced Hamiltonian contains only the traceless-transverse fields, but not all of the non-propagating components can…
