Description

Gravitational force can be obtained by gauging the Poincaré group.
The resulting theory is known as Einstein-Cartan (-Sciama-Kibble) gravity. In the absence of matter, it is indistinguishable from general relativity. The situation changes when matter is considered. In this talk, I will discuss the Einstein-Cartan theory and a novel mechanism for producing singlet fermions in the early Universe.
