A nonminimally coupled Einstein-Maxwell model in a non-Riemann space-time with torsion

Understand

A system of field equations for an Einstein-Maxwell model with $RF^2$-type nonminimal coupling in a non-Riemannian space-time with a non-vanishing torsion is derived and the resulting field equations are expressed in terms of the Riemannian quantities based on a metric with a Lorentzian signature.

• The torsion is generated by the gradients of the electromagnetic field invariants.
• An electromagnetic constitutive tensor is introduced in the formulation of the field equations.
