Neutrino asymmetry in general relativistic rotating radiative stars

Neutrino asymmetry in general relativistic radiative spacetime exterior to spinning stars is investigating by making use of Newmann-Penrose (NP) spin coefficient formalism. It is shown that neutrino current depends on the direction of rotation of the star. The solution is obtained in test field approximation where the neutrinos do not generate gravitational fields.Comment: Latex fil

A teleparallel effective geometry for Einstein's unified field theory

Riemannian and teleparallel geometrical approaches to the investigation of Maxwell electrodynamics shown that a unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism a la Einstein can be obtained from a stationary metric. This idea contrasts with the recently proposed pre-metric electrodynamics by Hehl and Obukhov. In the teleparallel case the definition of the electric field is obtained straightforward from the spacetime metric and the orthonormal basis frame of teleparallelism. In this case the only nonvanishing component of Cartan torsion is defined as the effective electric field. In this approach the gravitational potentials or metric coefficients are expressed in terms of the effective or analogous electric and magnetic potentials. Thefore the Maxwell equations in vacuum can be obtained by derivation of this electric field definition as usual. In the Riemannian case we consider an electrostatic spacetime where the Einstein equations in vacuum in the approximation of linear fields. The constraint of Einstein equations in vacuum are shown to lead or to the Coulomb equation or to a singular behaviour on the metric which would represent a kind of effective electrodynamic black hole event horizon.Comment: Latex fil

Cosmological Background torsion limits from Lorentz violation

Cosmological limits on Lorentz invariance breaking in Chern-Simons $(3+1)-dimensional$ electrodynamics are used to place limits on torsion. Birefrigence phenomena is discussed by using extending the propagation equation to Riemann-Cartan spacetimes instead of treating it in purely Riemannian spaces. The parameter of Lorentz violation is shown to be proportional to the axial torsion vector which allows us to place a limit on cosmological background torsion from the Lorentz violation constraint which is given by $10^{-33} eV <|S^{\mu}| < 10^{-32} eV$ where $|S^{\mu}|$ is the axial torsion vector.Comment: Latex fil

Gravitational torsion kinks and thick domain walls

The dynamics of a gravitational torsion kink as a plane symmetric thick domain wall solution of Einstein-Cartan (EC) field equation is given. The spin-torsion energy has to be as high as the gravitational kink potential otherwise torsion will not contribute as an appreciable effect to domain wall.Cartan torsion also contributes to the orthonal pressure of the domain wall.Comment: 5 pages late

Dynamos driven by poloidal flows in untwisted, curved and flat Riemannian diffusive flux tubes

Recently Vishik anti-fast dynamo theorem, has been tested against non-stretching flux tubes [Phys Plasmas 15 (2008)]. In this paper, another anti-dynamo theorem, called Cowling's theorem, which states that axisymmetric magnetic fields cannot support dynamo action, is carefully tested against thick tubular and curved Riemannian untwisted flows, as well as thin flux tubes in diffusive and diffusionless media. In the non-diffusive media the Cowling's theorem is not violated in thin Riemann-flat untwisted flux tubes, where the Frenet curvature is negative. Nevertheless the diffusion action in the thin flux tube leads to a a dynamo action driven by poloidal flows as shown by Love and Gubbins (Geophysical Res.) in the context of geodynamos. Actually it is shown that a slow dynamo action is obtained. In this case the Frenet and Riemann curvature still vanishes. In the case of magnetic filaments in diffusive media dynamo action is obtained when the Frenet scalar curvature is negative. Since the Riemann curvature tensor can be expressed in terms of the Frenet curvature of the magnetic flux tube axis, this result can be analogous to a recent result obtained by Chicone, Latushkin and Smith, which states that geodesic curvature in compact Riemannian manifolds can drive dynamo action in the manifold. It is also shown that in absence of diffusion, magnetic energy does not grow but magnetic toroidal magnetic field can be generated by the poloidal field, what is called a plasma dynamo

Torsion effects on vortex filaments and Hasimoto soliton transformation in magnetars

The role played by torsion of magnetic vortex line curves or filaments, in the equilibrium state of magnetars is investigated. When the magnetars equilibrium equations are written in terms Frenet-Serret frame it is shown that in regions of the magnetic star where the Frenet torsion is constant it induces an oscillation in the vortex filaments. By solving the magnetar equilibrium equation we shown the this behaviour also appears in the magnetic field. The first derivative of the gravitational potential with respect to the arc lenght of the vortex filament is shown to coincide with the Hasimoto soliton transformation of the Schroedinger equation for the constant torsion.Comment: Latex fil

Torsion Strings inside Static Black Holes in Teleparallel Gravity

Cosmic strings inside Schwarzschild black holes in teleparallel gravity are considered.Torsion flux inside the black hole is compute like a torsion vortex on a superfluid.Since some components of torsion are singular on Schwarzschild horizon and others remain finite we compute a torsion invariant to decide whether the torsion is singular and where torsion singularities located.It is found out that as in the curvature case of Einstein's black hole the event horizon is not a mere coordinate singularity for torsion although a true torsion singularity is found at the center of the teleparallel black hole.Torsion flux vanishes along the cosmic string itself.It is shown from Cartan equation in differential forms that the spins inside the black hole are polarized along the torsion string.Torsion string seems to be confined inside the black hole.Comment: Latex fil

Spin polarised particles in Goedel world

The motion of classical test spinning particles in Godel universe in the realm of Einstein's General Relativity (GR) is investigated by making use of Killing conserved currents. We consider three distinct cases of motion of spinning particles polarized along the three distinct axes of the anisotropic metric. It is shown that in the case the spin is polarised along the y-direction the minimum energy of the motion is attained for only for spinless particles while the other two directions the minimum energy is obtained for spinning particles. The continuos energy spectrum is also computed.Comment: Latex fil

Non-Riemannian effective spacetime effects on Hawking radiation in superfluids

Riemannian effective spacetime description of Hawking radiation in $^{3}He-A$ superfluids is extended to non-Riemannian effective spacetime. An example is given of non-Riemannian effective geometry of the rotational motion of the superfluid vacuum around the vortex where the effective spacetime Cartan torsion can be associated to the Hawking giving rise to a physical interpretation of effective torsion recently introduced in the literature in the form of an acoustic torsion in superfluid $^{4}He$ (PRD-70(2004),064004). Curvature and torsion singularities of this $^{3}He-A$ fermionic superfluid are investigated. This Lense-Thirring effective metric, representing the superfluid vacuum in rotational motion, is shown not support Hawking radiation when the isotropic $^{4}He$ is restored at far distances from the vortex axis. Hawking radiation can be expressed also in topological solitons (moving domain walls) in fermionic superfluids in non-Riemannian (teleparallel) $(1+1)$ dimensional effective spacetime. A teleparallel solution is proposed where the quasiparticle speed is determined from the teleparallel geometry.Comment: Latex fil

Spin-Polarised Cylinders and Torsion Balances to test Einstein-Cartan Gravity?

Spin-Polarised cylinders with and without axial magnetic fields are obtained as particular families of solutions of Einstein-Cartan gravity (EC).The first solution represents a spin-polarised cylinder in teleparallel gravity.The second solution is a magnetized solution representing a spin-polarised cylinder where the magnetic fields and spins are distributed along the infinite axis of the cylinder.Altough it seems that the first solution is less realist than the second it could be obtained by shielding the magnetic fields with a superconductor.The second solution is computed by taking into account the Ritter et al. experiment with the test spin-polarized mass to test spin dependent forces.Ritter experiment deals with a test mass with $>10^{23}$ spin polarized electrons which leads to a spin density of $10^{-4}gcm^{-1}s^{-1}$.Comment: latex fil
