Observable traces of non-metricity: New constraints on metric-affine gravity

Relaxing the Riemannian condition to incorporate geometric quantities such as torsion and non-metricity may allow to explore new physics associated with defects in a hypothetical space–time microstructure. Here we show that non-metricity produces observable effects in quantum fields in the form of 4...
