Abstract

The equivalence principle is considered in the framework of metric-affine gravity. We show that it naturally emerges as a Noether symmetry starting from a general non-metric theory. In particular, we discuss the Einstein equivalence principle and the strong equivalence principle showing their relations with the non-metricity tensor. Possible violations are also discussed pointing out the role of non-metricity in this debate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
