Auto-parallel equation as Euler-Lagrange's equation over spaces with affine connections and metrics (Q5931059)

Auto-parallel equation over \(\overline {L}_{n;g}\)-spaces equipped with affine connection and metrics -- are considered via Lagrangian formalism. Due to presence of torsion and non-conservation of the metric, the equation of auto-parallels has a more complicated structure than the standard geodesic equation. For the variational principle the author uses the method of Lagrangians with covariant derivatives. He writes down the action and Euler-Lagrange equations for field variables.
