Abstract

Torsion detection from totally skew symmetric torsion waves in the context of teleparallel gravity is discussed. A gedanken experiment to detect Cartan's contortion based on a circle of particles not necessarily spinning is proposed. It is shown that by making use of previous value of contortion at the surface of the Earth computed by Nitsch of 1024s110^{-24} s^{-1} a relative displacement of 102110^{-21} is obtained which is of the order of the gravitational wave of 103Hz10^{-3}Hz. Since LISA has been designed to work in the mHz regime this GW detector could be used for an indirect detection of torsion in T4T_{4}.
