Isotropic Spherically Symmetric Weyssenhoff Fluid Sphere Models in Einstein–Cartan Theory

We present new exact solutions to the Einstein–Cartan (EC) field equations for static, spherically symmetric configurations of a noncharged Weyssenhoff fluid in isotropic coordinates, derived using the extended technique of differential forms applied to the non-Riemannian space-time of the Einstein–Cartan theory of gravitation (ECTG). The solutions exhibit regular behavior with nonnegative pressure and energy density, and satisfy the adiabatic stability condition $${1/\sqrt{3}<a<1}$$ . All models are rotating and accelerating, with vanishing expansion and shear. Spin contributions explicitly influence the matter distribution; in the spinless limit, the solutions reduce to those of Narlikar and Kuchowicz. For specific parameter values $$n$$ ( $$\sqrt{2}\leq n\leq 2$$ ), the models may be applicable to neutrino geodesic motion and other compact object studies in EC gravity.

Abstract

We present new exact solutions to the Einstein–Cartan (EC) field equations for static, spherically symmetric configurations of a noncharged Weyssenhoff fluid in isotropic coordinates, derived using the extended technique of differential forms applied to the non-Riemannian space-time of the Einstein–Cartan theory of gravitation (ECTG). The solutions exhibit regular behavior with nonnegative pressure and energy density, and satisfy the adiabatic stability condition $${1/\sqrt{3}<a<1}$$ . All models are rotating and accelerating, with vanishing expansion and shear. Spin contributions explicitly influence the matter distribution; in the spinless limit, the solutions reduce to those of Narlikar and Kuchowicz. For specific parameter values $$n$$ ( $$\sqrt{2}\leq n\leq 2$$ ), the models may be applicable to neutrino geodesic motion and other compact object studies in EC gravity.
