Coupling fermions to gravity necessarily leads to a non-renormalizable, gravitational four-fermion contact interaction. In this essay, we argue that augmenting the Einstein-Cartan Lagrangian with suitable kinetic terms quadratic in the…

It is shown that the gauge field in Poincare-gauge theory of gravity consists in two parts: the translational gauge field (t -field), which is generated by the energy-momentum current of external fields, and the rotational gauge field (r…
