Abstract
Workshop A5 consisted of two parts, one on classical alternative approaches to theories of gravitation and the other on the fundamental use of two-component spinors. The 74 abstracts printed in part one of the GR 10 volume of contributed papers (Bertotti et al., 1983) obviously could not be presented in the four hours alotted to the workshop. The more so as the contents of the papers were scattered among different topics ranging, as far as the classical approaches are concerned, from gauge theories of gravitation within the Riemann-Cartan geometry to theories built on Finsler geometry; from exact solutions to the Hamiltonian formulation of alternative theories. Therefore it was thought best to review and/or summarize some interesting developments in the field discussed by a few selected speakers.
H. Goenner is author of 1. Classical Alternative Theories of Gravity, report of the first part of workshop A5
