It is well-known that the conformal structure of a relativistic spacetime is of profound physical and conceptual interest. In this note, we consider the analogous structure for Newtonian theories. We show that the Newtonian Weyl tensor is…

We transcribe into the framework of the torsionful version of the {\epsilon}-formalism of Infeld and van der Waerden the world definition of the Weyl tensor for a curved spacetime that occurs in the realm of Einstein-Cartan's theory. The…

We derive the evolution equations for the electric and magnetic parts of the Weyl tensor for cold dust from both general relativity and Newtonian gravity. In a locally inertial frame at rest in the fluid frame, the Newtonian equations agree…

The electric and the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor, as well as the invariants obtained from them, are calculated for the Bondi vacuum metric. One of the invariants vanishes identically and the other only exhibits contributions from terms…

Newtonian limit of Extended Theories of Gravity (in particular, higher--order and scalar--tensor theories) is theoretically discussed taking into account recent observational and experimental results.

Few recent generations of cosmologists have solved non-local newtonian equations of the gravitational instability in an expanding universe. In this approach pancaking is the predominant form of first collapsing objects. Relativistic…

We examine the effect that the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor has on the large-scale expansion of space. This is done within the context of a class of cosmological models that contain regularly arranged discrete masses, rather than a…

When the full connection of Weyl conformal gravity is varied instead of just the metric, the resulting vacuum field equations reduce to the vacuum Einstein equation, up to the choice of local units, if and only if the torsion vanishes. This…

Weyl's conformal theory of gravity is an extension of Einstein's theory of general relativity which associates metrics with 1-forms . In the case of locally integrable (closed non-exact) 1-forms the spacetime manifolds are no more simply…

The object of this paper is to obtain the concircular curvature tensor of the semi symmetric non-metric connection on the Weyl manifold and to give a necessary and sufficient condition for a semi symmetric non-metric connection to be…

The equations of General Relativity are recast in the form of a wave equation for the Weyl tensor. This allows to reformulate gravitational wave theory in terms of curvature waves, rather than metric waves. The existence of two transverse…

This brief paper investigates the consequences for the metric tensor of space-time when the Weyl tensor (in its conformally invariant form) and the energy-momentum tensor is specified. It is shown that, unless rather special conditions…

We set analytical constraints on the parameter space of models of gravity containing a term quadratic in Weyl curvature $-\alpha C^2$. In this class of models, there are four propagating tensorial degrees of freedom, two vector degrees of…

The Weyl curvature includes the Newtonian field and an additional field, the so-called anti-Newtonian. In this paper, we use the Bianchi and Ricci identities to provide a set of constraints and propagations for the Weyl fields. The temporal…

It is generalized Weyl conformal curvature tensor in the case of a conformal mappings of a generalized Riemannian space in this paper. Moreover, it is found universal generalizations of it without any additional assumption. A method used in…

A classical general relativistic theory possessing magnetic currents, as well electric ones and admitting massive photons was built up. As the geometric basis serves a space with Weylian non-metricity and torsion. The theory is coordinate…

We compute the full vacuum polarization tensor in the fermion sector of Lorentz-violating QED. Even if we assume momentum routing invariance of the Feynman diagrams, it is not possible to fix all surface terms and find an unambiguity free…

The Weyl conformal tensor is the traceless component of the Riemann tensor and therefore, as is known, the information it contains does not appear explicitly in Einstein's equation. Following a rigorous mathematical treatment based on the…

We study the consequences of the $f(R/\Box)$ gravity models for the Solar system and the large scale structure of the universe. The spherically symmetric solutions can be used to obtain bounds on the constant and the linear parts of the…

We start by presenting the general set of structure equations for the 1+3 threading spacetime decomposition in 4 spacetime dimensions, valid for any theory of gravitation based on a metric compatible affine connection. We then apply these…
