Abstract
Following the work of Trautman we have described briefly the Einstein-Cartan equations with special reference to a perfect fluid distribution and then obtained three solutions adopting Hehl's approach and Tolman's technique. We have found that a space-time metric similar to the Schwarzschild solution (interior) will no longer represent a homogeneous fluid sphere in the presence of spin density, and the corresponding equation of state has the form , where , , and are constants. At the boundary of the fluid sphere the hydrostatic pressure is discontinuous.
