Space-times with Torsion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study models of axi-dilaton gravity in space-time geometries with torsion. We discuss conformal rescaling rules in both Riemannian and non-Riemannian formulations. We give static, spherically symmetric solutions and examine their singularity behaviour. PACS numbers: 04.50.+h, 04.20.Jb, 04.70.Bw E.mail: [email protected] E.mail: [email protected] 1

Killing-Yano tensors, non-standard supersymmetries and an index theorem
The existence of Killing-Yano tensors on space-times can be probed by spinning particles. Specifically, Dirac particles possess new fermionic constants of motion corresponding to non-standard supersymmetries on the particle worldline. A geometrical duality connects space-times with Killing-Yano structure, but without torsion, to other space-times with Killing-Yano structure and torsion. A relat...
متن کاملΑ-surfaces for Complex Space-times with Torsion
This paper studies necessary conditions for the existence of α-surfaces in complex space-time manifolds with nonvanishing torsion. For these manifolds, Lie brackets of vector fields and spinor Ricci identities contain explicitly the effects of torsion. This leads to an integrability condition for α-surfaces which does not involve just the self-dual Weyl spinor, as in complexified general relati...
متن کاملThe Geometry of Complex Space-times with Torsion
The necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of αsurfaces in complex space-time manifolds with nonvanishing torsion is derived. For these manifolds, Lie brackets of vector fields and spinor Ricci identities contain explicitly the effects of torsion. This leads to an integrability condition for α-surfaces which does not involve just the self-dual Weyl spinor, as in complexified gener...
متن کاملMassless DKP fields in Riemann-Cartan space-times
We study massless Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) fields in the context of Einstein-Cartan gravitation theory. In the case of an identically vanishing torsion (Riemannian space-times) we show that there exists local gauge symmetries which reproduce the usual gauge symmetries for the massless scalar and electromagnetic fields. On the other hand, similarly to what happens with the Maxwell theory, a no...
متن کاملVacuumless torsion defects.
Vacuumless defects in space-times with torsion may be obtained from vacuum defects in spacetimes without torsion.This idea is applied to planar domain walls and global monopoles.In the case of domain walls exponentially decaying Higgs type potentials are obtained.In the case of global monopoles torsion string type singularities are obtained like the string singularities in Dirac monopoles.
