Einstein-Cartan Theory and Gauge Symmetry
Abstract
We argue that the non gauge invariant coupling between torsion and the Maxwell or Yang-Mills fields in Einstein-Cartan theory can not be ignored. Arguments based in the existence of normal frames in neighbourhoods, and an approximation to a δ-function, lead to gauge invariant observables.
