Abstract: (arXiv)
In these lectures we review the basic structure of Poincare gauge theory of gravity, with emphasis on its fundamental principles and geometric interpretation. A specific limit of this theory, defined by the teleparallel geometry of spacetime, is discussed as a viable alternative for the description of macroscopic gravitational phenomena.- lectures: Kopaonik 2002/09/01
