Abstract

By using an isotropic field configuration for the triplet ansatz sector of the metric-affine theories of gravity (MAG), we find a class of harmonic solutions which represents the interior and exterior field of a distribution endowed with electric and strong gravitoelectric multipole moments. Moreover, the general matching and junction conditions in MAG and their reduction to the triplet ansatz sector are presented.
