Torsion Gravity for Fermionic Matter: the Einstein and Weyl theories

Luca Fabbri

University of Bologna

We review the torsional completion of the theory of gravitation for a spacetime filled with spinorial matter fields; we will review the least-order derivative (Einstein) theory and present the conformal (Weyl) theory: we will discuss possible differences between the two approaches.
