Gauge invariance and massive torsionic scalar field
Abstract
The Hojman-Rosenbaum-Ryan-Shepley dynamical theory of torsion preserves local gauge invariance of electrodynamics and makes minimal coupling compatible with torsion. It also allows propagation of torsion in vacuum. It is known that implications of this model disagree with the Eotvos-Dicke-Braginsky solar tests of the principle of equivalence. We modify this theory and make it consistent with experiment by introducing a massive component of the torsionic potential.
