Using Einstein-Maxwell theory I investigate the gravitational field generated by an electric charge and a magnetic dipole, both held in fixed positions, but spinning with prescribed angular momenta. There is a conical singularity between them representing a strut balancing the gravitational attraction of their masses. However, there is in general another singularity, which I call a torsion singularity. I interpret this as a couple needed to maintain the spins at their prescribed values. It vanishes when the parameters obey a certain formula. A conclusion of the work is that the charge and the magnet must spin relative to one another unless constrained by a couple.

  1. Taub-NUT as gravitational dyon with torsion

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Taub-NUT's Misner strings are torsion defects; with this torsion, the spacetime is a soliton sourced by two spin-fluid beams with a cosmic-string-like equation of state.
