Description
I will first introduce 3 alternative but completely equivalent formulations of GR, where gravity is assigned to either curvature, or torsion or to non-metricity (mentioning extensions of GR on the way). I will then discuss how matter can couple to these different geometries and whether the minimal coupling principle can be preserved.
