Recently we have constructed the conformal gravity with metric and torsion, finding the gravitational field equations that give the conservation laws and trace condition; in the present paper we apply this theory to the case of the Dirac matter field: we shall see that in this case the trace condition becomes trivial, but further constraints...

We consider the Proca field with dynamical term given by the exterior derivative with respect to the most general connection; the most general Proca field equations are given: a discussion about the propagation and the geometrical properties is presented. It is shown that this generalization is inconsistent and therefore the standard theory is...

We consider a geometric approach to field theory in which torsion is present in the matter field equations, and we develop the consequences of the torsion-spin coupling for a pair of single-handed spinors; we show these interactions to have the structure of a flavour-changing neutral current giving rise to a mixing for two massless fermion...

We discuss the general structure of metric geometries, and how metricity implies the complete antisymmetry of Cartan tensor; an application in the frame of Lie group theory is given. Interpretations of the completely antisymmetric torsion in physical models are reviewed.

We consider how the principles of causality and equivalence restrict the background in which matter field theories are defined; those constraints develop in restrictions for these matter field theories: the simplest matter field theory aside, all other less simple matter field theories are too complex therefore resulting to be inconsistent in...

We consider the ESK theory, based on the principle for which the space is filled with matter fields in such a way that Cartan torsion is spin; in the geometry in which Cartan torsion tensor is completely antisymmetric, spin has to be completely antisymmetric: we will show how the complete antisymmetry of spin constraints the form of possible...
