Abstract

Poincare gauge theory was derived from a linear theory by the method suggested by S. N. Gupta (1952) for deriving Einstein's general relativity from the linear theory of a spin-2 field. Non-linearity is introduced by requiring that a set of tensor fields be coupled to the Noether currents of the Poincare group (energy-momentum and spin).
