Gravitational field of global monopoles in Einstein-Cartan gravity
Abstract
Description
The gravitational weak field of a global monopole in the Einstein-Cartan theory of gravity is investigated.To obtain this solution we assume that Cartan torsion takes the form of the Newtonian gravitational potential.From the geodesics it is possible to show that the torsionic monopole produces a repulsive gravitational force.
