The Poincare (inhomogeneous Lorentz) group underlies special relativity. In these lectures a consistent formalism is developed allowing an appropriate gauging of the Poincare group. The physical laws are formulated in terms of points, orthonormal tetrad frames, and components of the matter fields with respect to these frames. The laws are postulated to be gauge invariant under local Poincare transformations. This implies the existence of 4 translational gauge potentials e α (“gravitons”) and 6…

A framework is developed for the gauge theory of the Poincare (or inhomogeneous Lorentz) group. A first-order Lagrangian formalism is set up in a Riemann-Cartan space-time, which will be

We consider the construction of gauge theories of gravity, focussing in particular on the extension of local Poincare invariance to include invariance under local changes of scale. We work

We reformulate the general theory of relativity in the language of Riemann–Cartan geometry. We start from the assumption that the space-time can be described as a non-Riemannian manifold, which, in

From a covariant Hamiltonian formulation, by using symplectic ideas, we obtain certain covariant boundary expressions for the quasilocal quantities of general relativity and other geometric gravity
A review of the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity is presented. It is emphasized that general relativity may be formulated in terms of the tetrad fields and of the torsion tensor, and
The fundamental interactions of nature, the electroweak and the quantum chromodynamics, are described in the Standard Model by the Gauge Theory under internal symmetries that maintain the invariance
The constraints of the superfield method in two-dimensional supergravity are adapted to allow for nonvanishing bosonic torsion. As the analysis of the Bianchi identities reveals, a new vector

We present gauge theories of gravitation based, respectively, on the general linear group GL(n, R) and its inhomogeneous extension IGL(n, R). (SO(n-1,1) and ISO(n-1,1) for torsion-free manifolds).
An argument leading from the Lorentz invariance of the Lagrangian to the introduction of the gravitational field is presented. Utiyama's discussion is extended by considering the 10‐parameter group

A generalization of Einstein's gravitational theory is discussed in which the spin of matter as well as its mass plays a dynamical role. The spin of matter couples to a non-Riemannian structure in
We construct a gravity theory using a set of Yang-Mills type gauge fields rather than the usual 10 metric fields ${g}_{\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\nu}}$. This formalism, first proposed by Utiyama

A formalism is given which makes it possible for a modified form of local gauge invariance and minimal coupling to be compatible with torsion. One consequence is a restriction on the possible form of
