Description

We consider the torsional completion of the theory of gravity in which torsion is a propagating axial-vector field: we show how this changes the energy conditions leading to the singularity formation being avoided. We discuss how the same construction possesses regular matter distributions even in the case of a single particle. We give a brief discussion also about the localization of such matter distribution.
