Metric-affine gravitation theory

In comparison with General Relativity, dynamic variables of metric-affine gravitation theory are both a pseudo-Riemannian metric and a general linear connection on a world manifold X. Metric-affine gravitation theory has been suggested as a natural generalization of Einstein–Cartan theory of gravity with torsion where a linear connection obeys the condition that a covariant derivative of a metric equals zero.
Metric-affine gravitation theory straightforwardly comes from gauge gravitation theory where a general linear connection plays the role of a gauge field. Let TX be the tangent bundle over a manifold X provided with bundle coordinates (x^\mu,\dot x^\mu). A general linear connection on TX is represented by a connection tangent-valued form
: \Gamma=dx^\lambda\otimes(\partial_\lambda +\Gamma_\lambdadx^\mu\otimes dx^\nu on TX is defined as a global section of the quotient bundle FX/SO(1,3)\to X, where SO(1,3) is the Lorentz group. Therefore, on can regard it as a classical Higgs field in gauge gravitation theory. Gauge symmetries of metric-affine gravitation theory are general covariant transformations.
It is essential that, given a pseudo-Riemannian metric g, any linear connection \Gamma on TX admits a splitting
: \Gamma_=\ +S_ +\frac12 C_
in the Christoffel symbols
: \= -\frac12(\partial_\mu g_ + \partial_\alpha
g_-\partial_\nu g_),
a nonmetricity tensor
: C_=C_=\nabla^\Gamma_\mu g_=\partial_\mu g_ +\Gamma_ + \Gamma_
and a contorsion tensor
: S_=-S_=\frac12(T_ +T_ + T_+ C_ -C_),
where
: T_=\frac12(\Gamma_ - \Gamma_)
is the torsion tensor of \Gamma.
Due to this splitting, metric-affine gravitation theory possesses a different collection of dynamic variables which are a pseudo-Riemannian metric, a non-metricity tensor and a torsion tensor. As a consequence, a Lagrangian of metric-affine gravitation theory can contain different terms expressed both in a curvature of a connection \Gamma and its torsion and non-metricity tensors. In particular, a metric-affine f(R) gravity, whose Lagrangian is an arbitrary function of a scalar curvature R of \Gamma, is considered.
A linear connection \Gamma is called the ''metric connection'' for a
pseudo-Riemannian metric g if g is its integral section, i.e.,
the metricity condition
: \nabla^\Gamma_\mu g_=0
holds. A metric connection reads
: \Gamma_=\ + \frac12(T_ +T_ + T_).
For instance, the Levi-Civita connection in General Relativity is a torsion-free metric connection.
A metric connection is associated to a principal connection on a Lorentz reduced subbundle F^gX of the frame bundle FX corresponding to a section g of the quotient bundle FX/SO(1,3)\to X. Restricted to metric connections, metric-affine gravitation theory comes to the above-mentioned Einstein – Cartan gravitation theory.
At the same time, any linear connection \Gamma defines a principal adapted connection \Gamma^g on a Lorentz reduced subbundle F^gX by its restriction to a Lorentz subalgebra of a Lie algebra of a general linear group GL(4,\mathbb R). For instance, the Dirac operator in metric-affine gravitation theory in the presence of a general linear connection \Gamma is well defined, and it depends just of the adapted connection \Gamma^g. Therefore, Einstein – Cartan gravitation theory can be formulated as the metric-affine one, without appealing to the metricity constraint.
In metric-affine gravitation theory, in comparison with the Einstein - Cartan one, a question on a matter source of a non-metricity tensor arises. It is so called hypermomentum, e.g., a Noether current of a scaling symmetry.
