general relativity - Coupling fermions with gravity




Einstein's gravity does not incorporate the "spinor" nature of fermions. The tetrad formulation or Cartan's theory is suggested as the way to go around this problem - by allowing the spin connection to have torsion. It is known that the spin couples with the torsion.


Please suggest some references where this "spin-torsion coupling" has been discussed in details. Specifically, some concrete examples of calculations where one can see this "coupling" term(s) explicitly.

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
