Classical Electron Model with Negative Energy Density in Einstein-Cartan Theory of Gravitation

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

Experimental result regarding the maximum limit of the radius of the electron \sim 10^{-16} cm and a few of the theoretical works suggest that the gravitational mass which is a priori a positive quantity in Newtonian mechanics may become negative in general theory of relativity. It is argued that such a negative gravitational mass and hence negative energy density also can be obtained with a better physical interpretation in the framework of Einstein-Cartan theory.
