Abstract

A fully gauge-invariant topological coupling of torsion to the electromagnetic field is examined. It is shown, while the gravitational fields are unaltered, torsion may serve as a source for electromagnetism and electromagnetism may serve as a source for torsion. Unlike most couplings, this gives rise to conservation of charge, no magnetic monopoles, and is in agreement with the principle of equivalence.
