Nonsingular, big-bounce cosmology from spinor-torsion coupling

Abstract: The Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory of gravity removes the constraint of general relativity that the affine connection be symmetric by regarding its antisymmetric part, the torsion tensor, as a dynamical variable. The minimal coupling between the torsion tensor and Dirac spinors generates a spin-spin interaction which is significant in fermionic matter at extremely high densities. We show that such an interaction averts the unphysical big-bang singularity, replacing it with a cusp-like bounce at a finite … Show more

“…These FRW universes have a singularity at their beginning, which represents the BB. BHs are required to demonstrate singularities as well, untypical for a mathematical description of nature [26,27]; furthermore, in the case of a closed universe no light can escape, which is just the common definition of it in some accordance to the imagination in Greece mythology.…”

“…A famous example is the Poincaré gauge theory of Gravity [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Some works have been done to develop a model of geometric dark energy in the Poincaré gauge theory framework [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56]. In [38][39][40][41][42][43] the effect of torsion is to introduce an extra-term into matter density and pressure which gives rise to an accelerated behavior of the universe.…”

However, the torsion contributes only a constant density, it is not possible to solve the coincidence and fine tuning problem.…”

“…Einstein's theory implies the existence of black holes and gravitational singularities, where the quantities that are used to measure the gravitational field become infinite in such a way that does not depend on the coordinate system. According to general relativity, the initial state of the universe at the beginning of the Big Bang was a singularity ( [11]). Another type of singularity would be formed inside a black hole ( [5]).…”
