Abstract
Eiemann-Cartan geometry with curvature and torsion arises naturally within the framework of Poincaré gauge theory of gravity. The simplest example is given by the Einstein-Cartan theory (Kibble, 1961; Sciama, 1962; Trautman, 1973; Hehl et al., 1976) in which the coupling of spin and torsion is realised in a degenerate algebraic manner. More general models are based on the Yang-Mills type Lagrangians, quadratic both in torsion and curvature. Classical dynamics of the Poincaré gravitational fields is at present intensively studied (some bibliography can be found in books by Ivanenko et al., (1985) and Ponomariev et al. (1985)).
