Teleparallel gravity can be seen as a gauge theory for the translation group. As such, its fundamental field is neither the tetrad nor the metric, but a gauge potential assuming values in the Lie algebra of the translation group. This gauge…
In Symmetric Teleparallel General Relativity, gravity is attributed to the non-metricity. The so-called "coincident gauge" is usually taken in this theory so that the affine connection vanishes and the metric is the only fundamental…
In this article, we focus on symmetric teleparallel gravity, a modification of General Relativity where gravity is described by the non-metricity of an affine connection, whose curvature and torsion vanish. In these theories, the…
Here we consider a metric-affine theory of gravity in which the gravitational Lagrangian is the scalar curvature. The matter action is allowed to depend also on the torsion and the nonmetricity, which are considered as the field variables…

We develop a symmetric teleparallel gravity model in a space-time with only the non-metricity is nonzero, in terms of a Lagrangian quadratic in the non-metricity tensor. We present a detailed discussion of the variations that may be used…
Symmetric teleparallel gravity theories, in which the gravitational interaction is attributed to the nonmetricity of a flat, symmetric, but not metric-compatible affine connection, have been a topic of growing interest in recent studies.…

We discuss an extended Teleparallel gravity models comprising functions of scalar invariants constructed by torsion, torsion Gauss-Bonnet and boundary terms. We adopt the Noether Symmetry Approach to select the functional forms, the first…
We analyze the construction of conformal theories of gravity in the realm of teleparallel theories. We first present a family of conformal theories which are quadratic in the torsion tensor and are constructed out of the tetrad field and of…
A new gauge theory of gravity is presented. The theory is constructed in a flat background spacetime and employs gauge fields to ensure that all relations between physical quantities are independent of the positions and orientations of the…
In this paper, we provide a vacuum solution with torsion in quadratic Riemann-curvature gravity. Physically, the solution means that vacuum can have a nonzero vacuum field with large torsion. We show that the Einstein-Hilbert action can be…
We study the variational principle and derivation of the field equations for different classes of teleparallel gravity theories, using both their metric-affine and covariant tetrad formulations. These theories have in common that in…
The teleparallel gravity theory, treated physically as a gauge theory of translations, naturally represents a particular case of the most general gauge-theoretic model based on the general affine group of spacetime. On the other hand,…
This is a shortened version of an invited talk at the XIII International Workshop "Lie Theory and its Applications in Physics", June 17-23, Varna, Bulgaria. A covariant canonical gauge theory of gravity free from torsion is studied. Using a…
Solutions to gravity with quadratic Lagrangians are found for the simple case where the only nonconstant metric component is the lapse $N$ and the Riemann tensor takes the form $R^{t}_{.itj}=-k_{i}k_{j}, i,j=1,2,3$; thus these solutions…
We consider the symmetric teleparallel $f\left( Q\right) $-gravity in Friedmann--Lema\^{\i}tre--Robertson--Walker cosmology with nonzero spatial curvature. For a nonlinear $f\left( Q\right) $ model there exist always the limit of General\…

In a recent paper we have established the form of the metric-torsional conformal gravitational field equations, and in the present paper we study their vacuum configurations; we will consider a specific situation that will enable us to look…
Conformal gravity has been proposed as an alternative theory of gravity which can account for flat galactic rotation curves without recourse to copious quantities of dark matter. However it was shown that for the usual choice of the metric,…
