The Chandrasekhar Mass in the Aldred Frame: Torsion Corrections to White-Dwarf Structure

In Einstein-Cartan spin-torsion gravity the effective gravitational density is rho_eff = rho - rho^2/rho_A with the Aldred Limit rho_A = 9.72e54 g/cm^3. The correction is carried into the Lane-Emden equations (n=3/2 and n=3, mu_e=2) and integrated over central densities 1e6-1e11 g/cm^3. The uncorrected Chandrasekhar mass is 1.4563 solar masses. The torsion correction shifts the limiting mass by +0.709 rho_c/rho_A (baryonic): at rho_c = 1e10 g/cm^3 the shift is 7.29e-46 in fraction (about 2e-12 g), and at the largest physical central density 1e11 g/cm^3 it is 7.29e-45. A 1% structural correction would require a central density of 9.72e52 g/cm^3. The Type Ia standard-candle mass is therefore unmoved at any observable level.
