In this paper, we delve into the significance of local scale symmetry and the role of the associated noether current, within gravitational theories which are based in non-riemannian background space. Our focus is in Weyl and in Riemann-Cartan geometry based gravitational theories. We show that local scale symmetry is associated with vanishing noether current whenever there are not new propagating gravitational degrees of freedom beyond the two polarizations of the massless graviton. In contrast, in local scale invariant theories where there are more than two propagating gravitational degrees of freedom, local scale symmetry is associated with nonvanishing noether current. The known result that Weyl symmetry has vanishing noether current, is generalized to non-riemannian gravitational theories. An exception are the local scale invariant gravitational theories with vectorial nonmetricity, where the associated noether current is nonvanishing.

$f(T)$ Gravity: Background Dependence and Propagating Degrees of Freedom
By perturbing f(T) gravity around FLRW and Bianchi I spacetimes, the authors find that only the two gravitational-wave polarizations propagate in the gravity sector.
