Abstract
Examples in which spacetime might become non-Riemannian above Planck e nergies occur in string theory or in the very early universe in the in flationary model. The simplest such geometry is metric-affine geometry , in which nonmetricity appears as a field strength, side by side with curvature and torsion. In this paper we obtain a solitonic solution o f the metric-affine gauge theory of gravity, which is endowed with she ar and dilational Weyl charges.
