Such an approach rests on the universality of free-fall– the weak equivalence principle–and would break down without it. On the other hand, the teleparallel version of general relativity, a gauge theory for the translation group, describes the gravitational interaction by a force similar to the Lorentz force of electromagnetism, a non-universal interaction. It is shown that, similarly to the Maxwell's description of electromagnetism, the teleparallel gauge approach provides a consistent theory for gravitation even in the absence of the weak equivalence principle.1505-1514engCapítulo de livro10.1142/9789812704030_01422-s2.0-84990008224
