There are many possible solutions. Generically, these exhibit nonvanishing torsion even in the absence of any matter coupling. These solutions are shown to contain a special set of eight configurations which are associated with the homogeneous model three-geometries of Thurston.falseDegenerate spacetimes in first order gravityArticlehttps://arxiv.org/pdf/1602.045592470002914 April 201622084026arJournal21
