This review examines singularities in Poincaré gauge theories of gravity. We analyze black hole regions as indicators of singular behavior and particle dynamics around these structures.
Area of Science:
- Theoretical physics
- Gravitational physics
- Mathematical physics
Background:
- Singularities are a key feature in gravitational theories.
- Poincaré gauge gravity offers an alternative framework to Einstein's general relativity.
- Black hole regions have been recently identified as indicators of singular behavior.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the study of singularities within Poincaré gauge theories of gravity.
- To provide explicit examples of black hole regions of arbitrary dimensions.
- To investigate particle behavior in the vicinity of these gravitational structures.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of singularities in Poincaré gauge gravity.
- Analytical derivation of black hole solutions.
- Particle trajectory analysis in curved spacetime.
Main Results:
- Identification of specific types of singularities in Poincaré gauge theories.
- Characterization of black hole regions with varying dimensions.
- Description of particle motion influenced by these singularities.
Conclusions:
- Singularities in Poincaré gauge gravity are linked to the formation of black hole regions.
- The behavior of particles near these regions provides insights into the nature of spacetime.
- Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of these findings.

This has been verified in many experiments. However, space and time are no longer absolute. Two observers moving relative to one another do not agree on the length of objects or the passage of time. The mechanics of objects based on Newton's laws of...
