Abstract

Taking into account a torsion field gives rise to a negative pressure contribution in cosmological dynamics and then to an accelerated behaviour of Hubble fluid. The presence of torsion has the same effect as a A-term. We obtain a general exact solution which well fits data coming from high redshift supernovae and Sunyaev-Zeldovich/X-ray method for the determination of cosmological parameters. On the other hand, it is possible to obtain observational constraints on the amount of torsion density. A dust dominated Friedmann behaviour is recovered as soon as torsion effects are not relevant.
