Abstract: Torsion propagation and torsion-spin coupling are studied in the perspective of the Velo-Zwanziger method of analysis; specifically, we write the most extensive dynamics of the torsion tensor and the most exhaustive coupling that is permitted between torsion and spinors, and check the compatibility with constraints and hyperbolicity and causality of field equations: we find that some components of torsion and many terms of the torsion-spin interaction will be restricted away and as a consequence we will present the most general theory that is compatible with all restrictions.
