Semi-Symmetric Metric Gravity: from the Friedmann-Schouten geometry with torsion to dynamical dark energy models

In this talk, Lehel Csillag, Department of Physics, Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj, Romania, will provide a detailed discussion on the dark energy models within semi-symmetric metric gravity. Essentially, this theory is based on a connection with a special type of torsion, first introduced by Friedmann and Schouten. The Einstein equations in this geometry contain additional terms, which arise from torsion. Interpreting these as geometric-type dark energy effects, he will present three models based on three different equations of state.
