The Einstein--Cartan Theory (ECT) of gravity is a modification of General Relativity Theory (GRT), allowing space-time to have torsion, in addition to curvature, and relating torsion to the density of intrinsic angular momentum. This modification was put forward in 1922 by Elie Cartan, before the discovery of spin. Cartan was influenced by the work of the Cosserat brothers (1909), who considered besides an (asymmetric) force stress tensor also a moments stress tensor in a suitably generalized continuous medium.

  1. Geometric formulation of $k$-essence and late-time acceleration

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Integrable vectorial nonmetricity gravity is shown to be equivalent to purely kinetic quadratic k-essence, which fits late-time data as well as ΛCDM.
