Gauge Approach to The Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity
We discuss a gauge invariant gravity model in a non-Riemannian geometry in
which the curvature and the torsion both are zero, the nonmetricity is nonzero.
We also argue that only a metric ansatz is enough to start finding solutions to
the field equations. As an application we obtain explicitly a conformally flat
solution.Comment: This is the improved version of our manuscript arXiv:0810.2388v1. To

Spinor coupling to the weak Poincare gauge theory of gravity in three dimensions
Minimal coupling of a Dirac field to gravity with the most general
non-propagating torsion is considered in (1+2)-dimensions. The field equations
are obtained from a lagrangian by a variational principle. The space-time
torsion is calculated algebraically in terms of a quadratic spinor condensate
plus coupling coefficients. Firstly we give circularly symmetric rotating exact
solutions that collapse to geometry in the absence of the Dirac
condensate. Secondly we investigate a BTZ-like solution.Comment: We added a new subsection, corrected syntax errors, extended

Non-minimal -type corrections to holographic superconductor
We study -dimensional holographic superconductors in the presence of
non-minimally coupled electromagnetic field to gravity by considering an
arbitrary linear combination of -type invariants with three parameters.
Our analytical analysis shows that the non-minimal couplings affect the
condensate and the critical temperature.Comment: Accepted for publication in Modern Physics Letters
Non-minimally coupled Dirac equation with torsion: Poincar\'e gauge theory of gravity with even and odd parity terms
We take a Dirac field non-minimally coupled to the gravitational field within
the framework of the Poincar\'e gauge theory of gravity with torsion and
curvature. We study the subcase of "weak" gravity, that is, the gravitational
Lagrangian depends only linearly on the curvature and quadratically on the
torsion. We include all pieces in curvature and torsion that are of odd parity.
The second field equation of gravity is derived by varying the Lorentz
connection. We solve it with respect to the torsion and decompose the first
field equation of gravity and the Dirac equation into Einsteinian pieces and
post-Riemannian terms.Comment: Title and content have been changed. To appear in CQ
Anisotropic cosmological solutions to the gravity
We investigate anisotropic cosmological solutions of the theory with
non-minimal couplings between electromagnetic fields and gravity in
form. After we derive the field equations by the variational principle, we look
for spatially flat cosmological solutions with magnetic fields or electric
fields. Then we give exact anisotropic solutions by assuming the hyperbolic
expansion functions. We observe that the solutions approach to the isotropic
case in late-times.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Weyl-Lorentz-U(1)-invariant symmetric teleparallel gravity in three dimensions
We consider a Weyl-Lorentz-U(1)-invariant gravity model written in terms of a
scalar field, electromagnetic field and nonmetricity tensor in three
dimensions. Firstly we obtain variational field equations from a Lagrangian.
Then, we find some classes of circularly symmetric rotating solutions by
exploiting the coincident gauge of symmetric teleparallel spacetime
The non-minimally coupled symmetric teleparallel gravity with electromagnetic field
We construct a symmetric teleparallel gravity model which is non-minimally
coupled with electromagnetic field in four dimensions inspired by its
Riemannian equivalent. We derive the field equations by taking the variation of
this model, which is written here for the first time. Then, we find some
classes of spherically symmetric static solutions by the coincident gauge of
symmetric teleparallel spacetime.Comment: 16 page
Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity: Some exact solutions and spinor couplings
In this paper we elaborate on the symmetric teleparallel gravity (STPG)
written in a non-Riemannian spacetime with nonzero nonmetricity, but zero
torsion and zero curvature. Firstly we give a prescription for obtaining the
nonmetricity from the metric in a peculiar gauge. Then we state that under a
novel prescription of parallel transportation of a tangent vector in this
non-Riemannian geometry the autoparallel curves coincides with those of the
Riemannian spacetimes. Subsequently we represent the symmetric teleparallel
theory of gravity by the most general quadratic and parity conserving
lagrangian with lagrange multipliers for vanishing torsion and curvature. We
show that our lagrangian is equivalent to the Einstein-Hilbert lagrangian for
certain values of coupling coefficients. Thus we arrive at calculating the
field equations via independent variations. Then we obtain in turn conformal,
spherically symmetric static, cosmological and pp-wave solutions exactly.
Finally we discuss a minimal coupling of a spin-1/2 field to STPG.Comment: Accepted for publication in the International Journal of Modern
