Tidal Force in Metric-Affine Gravity

TL;DR

This paper explores how torsion in metric-affine gravity affects tidal forces, revealing similarities with geodesic equations and suggesting a method to measure torsion through tidal acceleration and curvature analysis.

Contribution

It introduces a novel analysis of torsion's influence on tidal forces and proposes a way to measure torsion via tidal acceleration and curvature relationships.

Findings

Torsion influences tidal forces similarly to geodesic equations.

A relationship between tidal acceleration, curvature, and torsion is established.

Potential method for measuring torsion using tidal force analysis.

Abstract

Generalization of an idea may lead to very interesting result. Learning how torsion influences on tidal force reveals similarity between tidal equation for geodesic and the Killing equation of second type. The relationship between tidal acceleration, curvature and torsion gives an opportunity to measure torsion.
