Abstract

Recently the search for exact solutions of the Poincaré gauge theory of gravity was highlighted by the independent discovery of two Kerr-type solutions with dynamic torsion. Some properties of these axisymmetric solutions, found by Chen et al. and by McCrea et al., are compared and put into proper perspective. In particular we show that the Chen et al., solution, in marked contrast to the more general McCrea et al. solution, belongs to a class of quadratic Poincaé gauge lagrangians of a highly degenerate nature, which admits non-unique solutions already in the limit of spherical symmetry.
