Abstract: | The particle content of the most general quadratic field Lagrangian for Poincaré gauge field theories is examined and restrictions on the coupling constants for absence of ghosts and tachyons are derived. Our final field Lagrangian contains three coupling constants, the usual gravitational constant in front of an Einsteinian part and two other constants governing pure torsion terms. |
