“…(In particular, assuming flatness (namely R λ µνρ = 0) and vanishing nonmetricity (83), boils down to the torsionful theories of [10,37], while demanding flatness and vanishing torsion one is left with the models of [11,12]. On the other hand, imposing only teleparallelism in (83) we are left with the generalized theories of [38,39].) The MG-VIII model is the most general of the MG theories, the function F = F(R, T, Q, T ) in (83) being a generic function of the scalar curvature R of the general affine connection Γ λ µν , the torsion scalar T, the nonmetricity scalar Q, and the energy-momentum trace T .…”
