Speaker
Mr
Teodor Borislavov Vasilev

Description
In this talk I will make a sort review on alternative theories of gravity with torsion along with a brief statement for their motivation. Then, I will focus my speech on Lagrangian densities quadratic in the curvature and torsion tensors, as they are known to produce a dynamic torsion field. By assuming that General Relativity should be recovered when the torsion vanishes and investigating the behaviour of the vector and pseudo-vector torsion fields in the weak-gravity regime, I will present a set of necessary conditions for the stability of these theories.
