Abstract
Torsion effects, including a spin precession in the torsion field, are considered. Some properties of neutrinos in cosmology are discussed. In the framework of Trautman's cosmological model with torsion estimated is a specific angular momentum of initial perturbations which proved to be of the order of the observable specific rotational moment for spiral galaxies. The results obtained are compared with those from the theories of potential and vortical perturbations in which rotation of galaxies is predicted.
