Einstein–Cartan–Dirac gravity with U(1) symmetry breaking
Abstract Einstein–Cartan theory is an extension of the standard formulation of General Relativity where torsion (the antisymmetric part of the affine connection) is non-vanishing. Just as the space-time metric is sourced by the stress-energy tensor of the matter fields, torsion is sourced via the sp...
