Some simple theories of gravity with propagating nonmetricity

Abstract We investigate symmetric metric-affine theories of gravity with a Lagrangian containing all operators of dimension up to four that are relevant to free propagation in flat space. Complementing recent work in the antisymmetric case, we derive the conditions for the existence of a single mass...
