摘要

Using the semi-inverse method [He. Variational principles for some nonlinear partial differential equations with variable coefficients. Chaos Solitons & Fractals 2004; 19(4):847-851], a generalized Poincare-invariant action using the tetrad in any number of dimensions is obtained. The so-obtained generalized action with a free parameter might find potential applications in bosonic strings and E-infinity theory.
