In Search of the Spacetime Torsion

چکیده
Whether torsion plays or not a role in the description of the gravitational interaction is a problem that can only be solved by experiment. This is, however, a difficult task: since there are different possible interpretations for torsion, there is no a model–independent way to look for it. In these notes, two different possibilities will be reviewed, their consistency analyzed, and the corresponding experimental outputs briefly discussed.

2 Vortex geometry of torsion loops in ( 1 + 1 ) dimensions
The irrotational vortex geometry carachter of torsion loops is displayed by showing that torsion loops and nonradial flow acoustic metrics are conformally equivalent in (1 + 1) dimensions while radial flow acoustic spacetime are conformally related in (2 + 1) dimensional spacetime. The analysis of 2-dimensional space allows us to express the fluid density in terms of the parameters of torsion l...
متن کاملNon-Riemannian effective spacetime effects on Hawking radiation in superfluids
Riemannian effective spacetime description of Hawking radiation in He− A superfluids is extended to non-Riemannian effective spacetime. An example is given of non-Riemannian effective geometry of the rotational motion of the superfluid vacuum around the vortex where the effective spacetime Cartan torsion can be associated to the Hawking giving rise to a physical interpretation of effective tors...
متن کاملA Solution to Symmetric Teleparallel Gravity
Teleparallel gravity models, in which the curvature and the nonmetricity of spacetime are both set zero, are widely studied in the literature. We work a different teleparallel theory, in which the curvature and the torsion of spacetime are both constrained to zero, but the nonmetricity is nonzero. After reformulating the general relativity in this spacetime we find a solution and investigate it...
متن کاملProbing non-Riemannian spacetime geometry
The equations of motion for matter in non-Riemannian spacetimes are derived via a multipole method. It is found that only test bodies with microstructure couple to the non-Riemannian spacetime geometry. Consequently it is impossible to detect spacetime torsion with the satellite experiment Gravity Probe B, contrary to some recent claims in the literature.
