Torsional anomaly in Kerr black hole and quantization in Einstein–Cartan gravity.

Recently, presence of gravitational and axial anomalies in Riemann–Cartan (RC) spacetime [Garcia de Andrade, Class. Quantum Gravity 38 (2021)] indicates that topological densities expressed in terms of torsion may be very useful in understanding the physics involved. Pontryagin and Euler density may be presented in terms of torsion in teleparallelism. In this paper, computation of these topological torsional densities in Kerr black holes is given. The geometric quantisation of torsion is also discussed in terms of the teleparallel metric. Actually, the recent work of Del Grosso and Poplawski [arXiv: 2107.06112] showed that the torsion quantization appears when torsion is the generator of momentum quantum mechanical commutator. Moreover, Poplawski et al. showed that use of quantum torsion in quantum electrodynamic (QED) may avoid the divergences in Feynmann integrals, process called, a torsion regularization. Here, we compute the momenta components in terms of teleparallel Kerr black hole torsion generator, like a Casimir tensor. The quantum generator, while not yet related by torsion, is seen to be naturally associated to axial torsion skew-symmetric in the teleparallel geometry. An important fact is that from torsion quantization, torsion chirality appears naturally in the Einstein–Cartan spin-torsion analogy, where now spin-angular momentum of the black hole is connected to torsion. Torsional chiral anomalies are shown to diverge at black hole singularity, and then they cannot be canceled at singularity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
