TY - JOUR TI - Relativistic cosmology and intrinsic spin of matter: Results and theorems in Einstein-Cartan theory T2 - Physical Review D VL - 107 IS - 8 AU - Luz, P. AU - Lemos, J. P. S. PY - 2023 SN - 2470-0010 DO - 10.1103/PhysRevD.107.084004 UR - https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.107.084004 AB - We start by presenting the general set of structure equations for the 1+3 threading spacetime decomposition in four spacetime dimensions, valid for any theory of gravitation based on a metric compatible affine connection. We then apply these equations to the study of cosmological solutions of the Einstein-Cartan theory in which the matter is modeled by a perfect fluid with intrinsic spin. It is shown that the metric tensor can be described by a generic Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker solution. However, due to the presence of torsion the Weyl tensors might not vanish. The coupling between the torsion and Weyl tensors leads to the conclusion that, in this cosmological model, the universe must either be flat or open, excluding definitely the possibility of a closed universe. In the open case, we derive a wave equation for the traceless part of the magnetic part of the Weyl tensor and show how the intrinsic spin of matter in a dynamic universe leads to the generation and emission of gravitational waves. Last, in this cosmological model, it is found that the torsion tensor, which has an intrinsic spin as its source, contributes to a positive accelerated expansion of the universe. Comparing the theoretical predictions of the model with the current experimental data, we conclude that torsion cannot completely replace the role of a cosmological constant. ER -
