- Description
- We discuss the detection of spacetime torsion and matter vorticity by using the splitting of the energy spectrum of fermions coupled gravitationally to torsion and matter vorticity. We show that matter vorticity splits the spectral lines of fermions in the same manner as torsion. These effects are additive and result from the existence of the same constant of motion for the fermions in both cases. The two effects can be more precisely distinguished by a further test involving Klein-Gordon particles.
