Abstract

We discuss generalizations of the notions of projective transformations acting on affine model of Riemann–Cartan and Riemann–Cartan–Weyl gravity which preserve the projective structure of the light-cones. We show how the invariance under some projective transformations can be used to recast a Riemann–Cartan–Weyl geometry either as a model in which the role of the Weyl gauge potential is played by the torsion vector, which we call torsion-gauging, or as a model with traditional Weyl (conformal) invariance.
