| dc.description | When space-time is assumed to be non-Riemannian the minimal coupling procedure (MCP) is not compatible, in general, with minimal action principle (MAP). This means that the equations gotten by applying MCP to the Euler-Lagrange equations of a Lagrangian $\cal L$ do not coincide with the Euler-Lagrange equations of the Lagrangian obtained by applying MCP to $\cal L$. Such compatibility can be restored if the space-time admits a connection-compatible volume element. We show how these concepts can alter qualitatively the predictions of the Einstein-Cartan theory of gravity. | |
