Abstract
Model of Riemann-Cartan gravity with varying signature of
metric is considered. The basic dynamical variables of the formalism are
vierbein, and an internal metric in the tangent
space. The corresponding action contains new terms, which depend on these
fields. In general case the signature of the metric is determined
dynamically. The Minkowski signature is preferred dynamically because the
configurations with the other signatures are dynamically suppressed. We
also discuss briefly the motion of particles in the background of the
modified black hole configuration, in which inside the horizon the
signature is that of Euclidean space-time.
