Abstract: (Elsevier)
We derive a stationary spherically symmetric vacuum solution in the framework of the Poincaré gauge field theory with a recently proposed quadratic lagrangian. We find a metric of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter type, both torsion and curvature are non vanishing, with torsion proportional to the mass and curvature proportional to the strong coupling constant κ . The metric exhibits two pieces, a newtonian potential describing the gravitational behavior of macroscopic matter, and a confining potential ∼ κr 2 presumably related to the strong-interaction properties of hadrons. To our knowledge this is a new feature of a classical solution of a Yang-Mills type gauge theory.
