Relativistic gravitational theories other than Einstein's, including asymmetric field theories (83D05)

Abstract: Riemann-Cartan space time $U_4$ is considered here. It has been shown that when we link topological Nieh-Yan density with the gravitational constant then we get Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian as a consequence.
