Cartan contortion detection from gravitational waves resonant detectors in teleparallel spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
A new proposal for Cartan contortion detection based on the resonant gravitational wave (GW) detector in teleparallel spacetime is considered.It is shown that Cartan contortion is proportional to the inverse of the damping time of the resonant detector.Actually the contortion acts as a damping force for the GW.A contortion of the order 10 −29 s −1 is obtained by using the data of present resonant detectors .Although this limit is yet small it is several orders of magnitude higher that the torsion obtained from spin precession detectors .Progress along this line may allows us to give a better experimental basis to Einstein-Cartan theories of gravity.

Nongeodesic motion of spinless particles in the teleparallel gravitational wave background
The motion of spinless particles in Riemann-Cartan (RC) U4 and teleparallel spacetimes is revisited on the light of gravitational waves hitting on the spinless test particles. It is shown that in the case Cartan contortion is totally skew-symmetric the spinless particles follow geodesics but if this symmetry is dropped they are able to follow nongeodesic worldlines in torsionic background. The ...

Spin-2, spin-1 and spin-0 modes in linearised teleparallelism are obtained where the totally skew-symmetric complex contortion tensor generates scalar torsion waves and the symmetric contortion in the last two indices generates gravitational waves as gravitational perturbations of flat spacetime with contortion tensor. A gedanken experiment with this gravitational-torsion wave hitting a ring of...
متن کاملDetecting torsion from LISA and teleparallel gravity
Torsion detection from totally skew symmetric torsion waves in the context of teleparallel gravity is discussed. A gedanken experiment to detect Cartan’s contortion based on a circle of particles not necessarily spinning is proposed. It is shown that by making use of previous value of contortion at the surface of the Earth computed by Nitsch of 10−24s−1 a relative displacement of 10−21 is obtai...
