On Poincaré gauge theory of gravity, its equations of motion, and Gravity Probe B
We discuss the structure of the Poincaré gauge theory of gravity (PG) that can be considered
as the standard theory of gravity with torsion. We reconfirm that torsion, in the context of PG …

Effective interactions in Ricci-Based Gravity below the non-metricity scale
A Delhom, V Miralles, A Peñuelas - The European Physical Journal C, 2020 - Springer
We show how minimally-coupled matter fields of arbitrary spin, when coupled to Ricci-based
gravity theories, develop non-trivial effective interactions that can be treated perturbatively …

Earth-moon Lagrangian points as a test bed for general relativity and effective field theories of gravity
We first analyze the restricted four-body problem consisting of the Earth, the Moon, and the
Sun as the primaries and a spacecraft as the planetoid. This scheme allows us to take into …
