We show that the spin of dark matter induces a gravitational analog of the electromagnetic Faraday effect, where the polarization of gravitational waves undergoes a rotation as they propagate through a dark matter halo with a non-vanishing axial spin tensor (hypermomentum). An expression for the gravitational rotation angle is provided, which is analogous to the Faraday rotation in optics, and evaluate its significance in astrophysical settings. Although the effect is expected to be small under current observational constraints, we discuss its potential importance in the early universe.

  1. Torsional pseudo-inflation beyond Einstein-Cartan

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Spin-fluid torsion cannot sustain inflation beyond about 0.46 e-folds, but a coupling-fed axial torsion condensate can hold an exact de Sitter background with an algebraic exit.

  2. Modified gravity from Weyl connection and the $f(R,\cal{A})$ extension

    gr-qc 2024-11 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Weyl-connection gravity with a dynamical vector field produces an effective dark energy sector, recovering Lambda-CDM in one class and dynamical dark energy in others.
