Abstract: The spin connection enters the theory of gravity as a nonabelian gauge field associated with local Lorentz transformations. Normally it is eliminated from making an extra assumption - that of the metricity of the vierbein… read more here.

Abstract: The covariant formulation of teleparallel gravity theories must include the spin connection, which has 6 degrees of freedom. One can, however, always choose a gauge such that the spin connection is put to zero. In… read more here.
