Space-time defects :Domain walls and torsion

The theory of distributions in non-Riemannian spaces is used to obtain exact static thin domain wall solutions of Einstein-Cartan equations of gravity. Curvature $δ$-singularities are found while Cartan torsion is given by Heaviside functions. Weitzenböck planar walls are caracterized by torsion $δ$-singularities and zero curvature. It is shown that Weitzenböck static thin domain walls do not exist exactly as in general relativity. The global structure of Weitzenböck nonstatic torsion walls is investigated.
