Abstract

We present an approximate solution of Einstein - Cartan equations for the metric outside a monopole resulting from the breaking of a global O(3) symmetry based on Lyra's modified Riemannian geometry. It is interesting to note that unlike the general relativity case, the global monopole in Einstein - Cartan theory based on Lyra's geometry can have attractive as well as repulsive gravitational effect.

Keywords
