Static dust sphere in Einstein-Cartan theory

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
A class of solutions of the Einstein-Cartan theory for the static spherical dust distribution is obtained. The equilibrium of the distribution is found to be due to the balance of the gravitational attraction and the repulsion due to the spin and torsion effect.
