We review many quantum aspects of torsion theory and discuss the possibility of the space-time torsion to exist and to be detected. The paper starts, in Chapter 2, with an introduction to the classical gravity with torsion, that includes also interaction of torsion with matter fields. In Chapter 3, the renormalization of quantum theory of matter fields and related topics, like renormalization group, effective potential and anomalies, are considered. Chapter 4 is devoted to the action of particles in a space-time with torsion, and to possible physical effects generated by the background torsion. In particular, we review the upper bounds for the background torsion which are known from the literature. In Chapter 5, the comprehensive study of the possibility of a theory for the propagating completely antisymmetric torsion field is presented. We show, that the propagating torsion may be consistent with the principles of quantum theory only in the case when the torsion mass is much greater than the mass of the heaviest fermion coupled to torsion. Then, universality of the fermion-torsion interaction implies that torsion itself has a huge mass, and can not be observed in realistic experiments. In Chapter 6, we briefly discuss the string-induced torsion and the possibility to induce torsion action and torsion itself through the quantum effects of matter fields.

ACT stands for Awkward Cosmology Theories
Reconciling Starobinsky inflation with ACT data requires fine-tuned higher-curvature scales, stiff reheating with ω_reh>1/3, or negative-energy towers, all hard to motivate from UV completions.

Quantum-Ordering Ambiguities in Weak Chern-Simons 4D Gravity and Metastability of the Condensate-Induced Inflation
In a Chern-Simons gravity model, quantum-ordering-dependent imaginary parts of the gravitational anomaly condensate give inflation a finite lifetime and imply the string scale is about one tenth of the Planck mass.
