PT Journal AU Delhom, A Miralles, V PeƱuelas, A TI Effective interactions in Ricci-Based Gravity below the non-metricity scale SO European Physical Journal C JI Eur. Phys. J. C PY 2020 BP 340 - 14pp VL 80 IS 4 DI 10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-7880-3 LA English AB We show how minimally-coupled matter fields of arbitrary spin, when coupled to Ricci-based gravity theories, develop non-trivial effective interactions that can be treated perturbatively only below a characteristic high-energy scale . We then use this interactions to set bounds on the high-energy scale that controls departures of Ricci-Based Gravity theories from General Relativity. Particularly, for Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity we obtain the strong bound vertical bar kappa vertical bar<10(-26)m(5)kg(-1)s(-2). ER
