Metric-affine Myrzakulov gravity theories with Gauss-Bonnet and boundary term scalars

Abstract

In this paper, we consider some metric-affine Myrzakulov gravity (MG) theories with Gauss-Bonnet scalars. Also we consider the MG theories with the boundary term scalars. Note that these MG theories with the Gauss-Bonnet and boundary term scalars were proposed in [arXiv:1205.5266]. Some examples of Metric-Affine Gravity (MAG) theories are reviewed in the context of the $F(R,T,Q,{\cal T}, {\cal D})$ type models. Then the generalized MAG theory with the curvature, torsion and nonmetricity (the so-called MG-VIII) was studied. For the FRW spacetime case, in particular, the Lagrangian, Hamilatonian and gravitational equations are obtained. The particular case $F(R,T)=\alpha R+\beta T+\mu Q+\nu{\cal T}$ is investigated in detail. In quantum case, the corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt equation is obtained. Finally, some gravity theories with the curvature, torsion and nonmetricity are presented.
