摘要
We introduce bosonic (p - 1)-form fields that couple to the spin connection of the Einstein-Cartan theory of gravity, thus becoming a nontrivial source of spacetime torsion. We analyze all the general features of both the matter and the gravitational sectors of the theory. Finally, we briefly consider the implications of the existence of such fields in different physical settings.
