Abstract
In this paper, we formulate the Mimetic theory of gravity in first-order formalism for differential forms, i.e., the mimetic version of Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble (ECSK) gravity. We consider different possibilities on how torsion is affected by Weyl transformations and discuss how this translates into the interpolation between two different Weyl transformations of the spin connection, parameterized with a zero-form parameter λ. We prove that regardless of the type of transformation one chooses, in this setting torsion remains as a non-propagating field. We also discuss the conservation of the mimetic stress-energy tensor and show that the trace of the total stress-energy tensor is not null but depends on both, the value of λ and spacetime torsion.
