We state and prove a simple Theorem that allows one to generate invariant quantities in Metric-Affine Geometry, under a given transformation of the affine connection. We start by a general functional of the metric and the connection and consider transformations of the affine connection possessing a certain symmetry. We show that the initial functional is invariant under the aforementioned group of transformations iff its $Gamma$-variation produces tensor of a given symmetry. Conversely if the tensor produced by the $Gamma$-variation of the functional respects a certain symmetry then the functional is invariant under the associated transformation of the affine connection. We then apply our results in Metric-Affine Gravity and produce invariant actions under certain transformations of the affine connection. Finally, we derive the constraints put on the hypermomentum for such invariant Theories.

This article presents a systematic way to solve for the Affine Connection in Metric-Affine Geometry. We start by adding to the Einstein-Hilbert action, a general action that is linear in the connection and its partial derivatives and respects project
ive invariance. We then generalize the result for Metric-Affine f(R) Theories. Finally, we generalize even further and add an action (to the Einstein-Hilbert) that has an arbitrary dependence on the connection and its partial derivatives. We wrap up our results as three consecutive Theorems. We then apply our Theorems to some simple examples in order to illustrate how the procedure works and also discuss the cases of dynamical/non-dynamical connections.
In four dimensions one can use the chiral part of the spin connection as the main object that encodes geometry. The metric is then recovered algebraically from the curvature of this connection. We address the question of how isometries can be identif
ied in this pure connection formalism. We show that isometries are recovered from gauge transformation parameters satisfying the requirement that the Lie derivative of the connection along a vector field generating an isometry is a gauge transformation. This requirement can be rewritten as a first order differential equation involving the gauge transformation parameter only. Once a gauge transformation satisfying this equation is found, the isometry generating vector field is recovered algebraically. We work out examples of the new formalism being used to determine isometries, and also prove a general statement: a negative definite connection on a compact manifold does not have symmetries. This is the precise pure connection analog of the well-known Riemannian geometry statement that there are no Killing vector fields on compact manifolds with negative Ricci curvature.
We show that the causal properties of asymptotically flat spacetimes depend on their dimensionality: while the time-like future of any point in the past conformal infinity $mathcal{I}^-$ contains the whole of the future conformal infinity $mathcal{I}
^+$ in $(2+1)$ and $(3+1)$ dimensional Schwarzschild spacetimes, this property (which we call the Penrose property) does not hold for $(d+1)$ dimensional Schwarzschild if $d>3$. We also show that the Penrose property holds for the Kerr solution in $(3+1)$ dimensions, and discuss the connection with scattering theory in the presence of positive mass.
In this paper we prove that the $k$-th order metric-affine Lovelock Lagrangian is not a total derivative in the critical dimension $n=2k$ in the presence of non-trivial non-metricity. We use a bottom-up approach, starting with the study of the simple
st cases, Einstein-Palatini in two dimensions and Gauss-Bonnet-Palatini in four dimensions, and focus then on the critical Lovelock Lagrangian of arbitrary order. The two-dimensional Einstein-Palatini case is solved completely and the most general solution is provided. For the Gauss-Bonnet case, we first give a particular configuration that violates at least one of the equations of motion and then show explicitly that the theory is not a pure boundary term. Finally, we make a similar analysis for the $k$-th order critical Lovelock Lagrangian, proving that the equation of the coframe is identically satisfied, while the one of the connection only holds for some configurations. In addition to this, we provide some families of non-trivial solutions.
In this paper we review the Myrzakulov Gravity models (MG-N, with $mathrm{N = I, II, ldots, VIII}$) and derive their respective metric-affine generalizations (MAMG-N), discussing also their particular sub-cases. The field equations of the theories ar
e obtained by regarding the metric tensor and the general affine connection as independent variables. We then focus on the case in which the function characterizing the aforementioned metric-affine models is linear and consider a Friedmann-Lema^{i}tre-Robertson-Walker background to study cosmological aspects and applications.
