Abstract
The Poincaré gauge theory always contains a ten-parameter symmetry gauge group, but there can be some extra symmetries depending on the choice of the gravity Lagrangian. In this review I will analyse the theory with the gravity Lagrangian linear in the curvature and quadratic in the torsion (R + T²), which contains no other particles but the gravitation (1,2). In the theory with R² terms, however, there are propagating torsions and the existence of extra gauge symmetries is related to their masslessness. At the end of this review I will mention some results concerning the linearized R + T² + R³ (3,4).
