Interacting spin 0 fields with torsion via Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau theory
Here we study the behaviour of spin 0 sector of the DKP field in spaces with
torsion. First we show that in a Riemann-Cartan manifold the DKP field presents
an interaction with torsion when minimal coupling is performed, contrary to the
behaviour of the KG field, a result that breaks the usual equivalence between
the DKP and the KG fields.
Next we analyse the case of Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity
Weitzenbock manifold, showing that in this case there is a perfect agreement
between KG and DKP fields. The origins of both results are also discussed.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, uses REVTEX. Changes in the presentation, minor

Conformal invariance of massless Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau theory in Riemannian space-times
We investigate the conformal invariance of massless Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau
theory coupled to riemannian space-times. We show that, as usual, in the
minimal coupling procedure only the spin 1 sector of the theory -which
corresponds to the electromagnetic field- is conformally invariant. We show
also that the conformal invariance of the spin 0 sector can be naturally
achieved by introducing a compensating term in the lagrangian. Such a procedure
-besides not modifying the spin 1 sector- leads to the well-known conformal
coupling between the scalar curvature and the massless Klein-Gordon-Fock field.
Going beyond the riemannian spacetimes, we briefly discuss the effects of a
nonvanishing torsion in the scalar case.Comment: 8 pages, no figures. Major changes in contend and results. To appear
