Title:   Particle motion in spaces with curvature and torsion
Abstract:
We examine particle motion in Riemann-Cartan spacetime assuming that it has nonzero orbital angular momentum and/or spin. The most interesting result is for the case of Dirac particle, which does not couple to curvature but only to torsion, in single-pole approximation. We compare this result with previous known results and discuss the difference.
