Abstract

We use the Fock-Papapetrou method to derive equations of motion for a spinning test particle moving both in the background gravitational field and a torsion field. The resultant two equations, the equations of world line and spin can be written in a covariant manner (as is the same for Papapetrou's result in general relativity). The equation of spin reproduces all the known equations of spin precession due to torsion.

  • Without cosmic acceleration, anisotropy in a closed Kantowski-Sachs universe would be increasing.

    “Without cosmic acceleration, anisotropy in a closed KS universe would be increasing [37].”

    From A nonsingular, anisotropic universe in a black hole with torsion and particle production (2021) · cites this paper as [37]

    The supplied passages and searches for Kantowski–Sachs anisotropy and cosmic acceleration found discussion of spinning test particles and spacetime torsion, not the evolution of a closed Kantowski–Sachs universe. No passage in our copy addresses whether anisotropy would increase without cosmic acceleration. (LLM, conf=0.76)

  • Isotropization would last during inflation, after which it would end and the anisotropy of the universe would grow again during the radiation-dominated era and the matter-dominated era.

    “Isotropization would last during inflation, after which it would end and the anisotropy of the universe would grow again during the radiation-dominated era and the matter-dominated era [37].”

    From A nonsingular, anisotropic universe in a black hole with torsion and particle production (2021) · cites this paper as [37]

    The passages on spinning particles and torsion, including §3.2 (page not supplied), discuss spin currents and equations of motion, not cosmological evolution. Searches for isotropization, inflation, and anisotropy during the radiation- and matter-dominated eras found no passage addressing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
