On unified field theories, dynamical torsion and geometrical models: II

Abstract

We analyze in this letter the same space-time structure as that presented in our previous reference (Part. Nucl., Lett. 2010. V. 7, No. 5, P. 299–307), but relaxing now the condition a priori of the existence of a potential for the torsion. We show through exact cosmological solutions from this model, where the geometry is Euclidean R ⊗ O ₃ ∼ R ⊗ SU(2), the relation between the space-time geometry and the structure of the gauge group. Precisely this relation is directly connected with the relation between the spin and torsion fields. The solution of this model is explicitly compared with our previous ones and we find that: (i) the torsion is not identified directly with the Yang-Mills type strength field, (ii) there exists a compatibility condition connected with the identification of the gauge group with the geometric structure of the space-time: this fact leads to the identification between derivatives of the scale factor with the components of the torsion in order to allow the Hosoya-Ogura ansatz (namely, the alignment of the isospin with the frame geometry of the space-time), and (iii) of two possible structures of the torsion the “tratorial” form (the only one studied here) forbids wormhole configurations, leading only to cosmological space-time solution in eternal expansion.
