extension of general relativity with spacetime torsion sourced by the spin of matter, obtained by gauging the Poincare group.

In gravitational physics, Einstein-Cartan theory refers to extension of general relativity with spacetime torsion sourced by the spin of matter, obtained by gauging the Poincare group. This meaning comes from Kibble (1961) in Journal of Mathematical Physics.[1]
