Abstract

The solution of the Mathisson-Papapetrou equations generalized to the case of the Einstein-Cartan theory, when they describe the motion of a test particle in an external torsion field, is considered. It is shown that a particle of nonzero rest mass moves inertially in a constant “polarized” torsion field, but its spin precesses around the direction of polarization of the spin of the torsion source. It is also found that the motion of a massless particle in a variable torsion field leads to a torsion frequency displacement effect of a photon under the assumption that the photon spin interacts with the torsion.
