Applications of local differential geometry to the sciences (53B50) Relativistic gravitational theories other than Einstein's, including asymmetric field theories (83D05)

Abstract: We prove in the Tucker-Wang approach to non-Riemannian Gravity that a general homogeneous Lagrangian density in the general connection with order of homogeneity of at least two, gives no contribution to the generalised Einstein equations. Using this result other important cases are also considered.
