Metric-torsion gravitational theories

Abstract

It is shown that under certain assumptions the Einstein-Cartan field equations are not unique but may reasonably be modified to a degree. These modified Einstein-Cartan equations are proven to be unique under quite general conditions and are likely the most general equations in any metric-torsion gravitational theory whose field equations are derivable from a variational principle and such that their geometric part is independent of constants other than the speed of light and the gravitational constant.
