Classical Gravitational Interactions and Gravitational Lorentz Force

Gravitational Lorentz Force

In quantum gauge theory of gravity, the gravitational field is represented by gravitational gauge field. The field strength of gravitational gauge field has both gravitoelectric component and gravitomagnetic component. In classical level, gauge theory of gravity gives out classical Newtonian gravitational interactions in a relativistic form. Besides, it gives out gravitational Lorentz force whi...

Gravitational Lorentz Force and the Description of the Gravitational Interaction

In the context of a gauge theory for the translation group, we have obtained , for a spinless particle, a gravitational analog of the Lorentz force. Then, we have shown that this force equation can be rewritten in terms of magnitudes related to either the teleparallel or the riemannian structures induced in spacetime by the presence of the gravitational field. In the first case, it gives a forc...

Modeling Gravitational Clustering without Computing Gravitational Force

The large-scale structure in the Universe is believed to arise out of small random density perturbations generated in the very early Universe, that are amplified by gravity. Large and usually intricate N-body simulations are typically employed to model the complex nonlinear dynamics in a self gravitating medium. We suggest a very simple model which predicts, on large scales, the correct density...

Asymmetrically warped compactifications and gravitational Lorentz violation

In a variant of the Randall-Sundrum braneworld model which has a charged black hole in an anti-de Sitter bulk, the 4D speed of gravity depends upon one’s location in the bulk, and in general differs from the speed of light on a given 3-brane. We apply phenomenological constraints on the difference in the speeds of light and gravity to models which use the warping to solve the hierarchy problem....
