We discuss equivalent representations of gravity in the framework of metric-affine geometries pointing out basic concepts from where these theories stem out. In particular, we take into account tetrads and spin connection to describe the so called {\it Geometric Trinity of Gravity}. Specifically, we consider General Relativity, constructed upon the metric tensor and based on the curvature $R$; Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity, formulated in terms of torsion $T$ and relying on tetrads and spin connection; Symmetric Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity, built up on non-metricity $Q$, constructed from metric tensor and affine connection. General Relativity is formulated as a geometric theory of gravity based on metric, whereas teleparallel approaches configure as gauge theories, where gauge choices permit not only to simplify calculations, but also to give deep insight into the basic concepts of gravitational field. In particular, we point out how foundation principles of General Relativity (i.e the Equivalence Principle and the General Covariance) can be seen from the teleparallel point of view. These theories are dynamically equivalent and this feature can be demonstrated under three different standards: (1) the variational method; (2) the field equations; (3) the solutions.

  1. Scale-invariant Schr\"{o}dinger geometry in symmetric teleparallel gravity

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A quadratic nonmetricity action of Schrödinger type is locally scale-invariant exactly when its Palatini connection equations admit the length-preserving Schrödinger connection.

  2. Primary Constraints of Newer General Relativity

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Primary constraint analysis of Newer General Relativity recovers five tensor and three vector constraints and identifies a previously unreported scalar-sector degeneracy that produces one or two constraints depending ...

  3. Extrinsic geometry and Hamiltonian analysis of symmetric teleparallel gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Symmetric teleparallel gravity has the same number of degrees of freedom as general relativity, confirmed via its Hamiltonian formulation after deriving generalized extrinsic geometry relations.

  4. Confronting eikonal and post-Kerr methods with numerical evolution of scalar field perturbations in spacetimes beyond Kerr

    gr-qc 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Numerical simulations benchmark the eikonal and post-Kerr approximations for quasinormal modes in deformed Kerr spacetimes, quantifying their errors relative to expected observational precision.

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.5

    In f(Q)=Q+ξQ² gravity with realistic EOSs, negative ξ increases neutron-star maximum masses while positive ξ decreases them, with exterior spacetime remaining Schwarzschild.

  6. Equivalence Principle violation in metric-affine gravity and finite-temperature effects

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Metric-affine gravity formulates equivalence principle violations via non-metricity that parallel finite-temperature mass-ratio shifts, and a generalized Fermi-Walker derivative shows no orthonormal tetrad propagates ...
