Homogeneous spaces of unsolvable Lie groups that do not admit equiaffine connections of nonzero curvature [PDF]
An important subclass among homogeneous spaces is formed by isotropically-faithful homogeneous spaces, in particular, this subclass contains all homogeneous spaces admitting invariant affine connection.

(In)equivalence of metric-affine and metric effective field theories
In a geometrical approach to gravity the metric and the (gravitational) connection can be independent and one deals with metric-affine theories. We construct the most general action of metric-affine effective field theories, including a generic matter ...

Affine Dynamics with Torsion [PDF]
In this study, we give a thorough analysis of a general affine gravity with torsion. After a brief exposition of the affine gravities considered by Eddington and Schr\"{o}dinger, we construct and analyze different affine gravities based on the ...

Eddington-inspired-Born–Infeld tensorial instabilities neutralized in a quantum approach
The recent direct detection of gravitational waves has highlighted the huge importance of the tensorial modes in any extended gravitational theory. One of the most appealing approaches to extend gravity beyond general relativity is the Eddington-inspired-

In the paper, we consider geodesic mappings of spaces with an affine connections onto generalized symmetric and Ricci-symmetric spaces. In particular, we studied in detail geodesic mappings of spaces with an affine connections onto 2-, 3-, and m- (Ricci-)

Generalized Affine Connections Associated with the Space of Centered Planes
Our purpose is to study a space Π of centered m-planes in n-projective space. Generalized fiberings (with semi-gluing) are investigated. Planar and normal affine connections associated with the space Π are set in the generalized fiberings.

The dynamics of metric-affine gravity
Metric-affine theories of gravity provide an interesting alternative to General Relativity: in such an approach, the metric and the affine (not necessarily symmetric) connection are independent quantities. Furthermore, the action should include covariant

Half-Symmetric Connections of Generalized Riemannian Spaces
In this article, we generalize Yano’s concept of a half-symmetric affine connection. With respect to this generalization, we obtain five linearly independent curvature tensors. In the following, we examine which special kinds of affine connections may be

On the nonsymmetric purely affine gravity [PDF]
We review the vacuum purely affine gravity with the nonsymmetric connection and metric. We also examine dynamical effects of the second Ricci tensor and covariant second-rank tensors constructed from the torsion tensor in the gravitational Lagrangian ...
