Universe phenomenology as understood from gravitational theories with non-vanishing torsion: cosmology and black holes

In this thesis, we study gravitational theories for which the natural choice of an affine connection is metric compatible while not being symmetric. More specifically, we study gravitational theories constructed on the Riemann-Cartan and Weitzenböck space-times. Firstly, we outline the mathematical...
