Description
We investigate the gravitational Lagrangian L/sub G/ < (c4/16πG) R - (hc/16πα/sub G/) R/sup chemically bond/atsub betagammadeltaat R/sub b/atsup betagammadeltaat, where the curvatures are computed from a metric-compatible connection with torsion. We prove that the Schwarzschild metric and its torsion-free connection constitute the unique O(3) spherically symmetric (including reflections) solution to the vacuum field equations of L/sub G/
