On the post-Newtonian approximation of the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory.
Abstract
The post-Newtonian approximation of the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble or ECSK theory is developed. It is used to obtain a drastic reduction on the density of the source needed to detect the spin. It is also proved that if we know the structure of the source, up to order ¯v, the spin can be detected, and if we know it up to order ¯v2 the theory can be verified.
