Abstract: | We introduce an energy-momentum density vector which is independent of the affine structure of the manifold and whose conservation is linked to observers. Integrating this quantity over time-like surfaces we can define Hamiltonian and momentum for the system which coincide with the corresponding ADM definitions for the case of irrotational Riemannian manifolds. As a consequence of our formalism, a Weak Equivalence Principle version for manifolds with torsion appears as the natural extension to non-Riemannian geometries from the Equivalence Principle of General Relativity. |
