Abstract

Electromagnetism is coupled to torsion in a gauge invariant manner by relaxing minimal coupling and introducing into the Lagrangian a term bilinear in the electromagnetic field tensor and the torsion potential. The resulting coupling between electromagnetism and torsion is examined and a solution corresponding to traveling coupled waves is given.
