Solar System Tests of Higher-Dimensional Gravity
The classical tests of general relativity — light deflection, time delay and perihelion shift — are applied, along with the geodetic precession test, to the five-dimensional extension of the theory known as Kaluza-Klein gravity, using an analogue of the four-dimensional Schwarzschild metric. The perihelion advance and geodetic precession calculations are generalized for the first time to situat...
متن کاملDo Solar system tests permit higher dimensional general relativity?
We perform a survey whether higher dimensional Schwarzschild space-time is compatible with some of the solar system phenomena. As a test we examine five well known solar system effects, viz., (1) Perihelion shift, (2) Bending of light (3) Gravitational redshift, (4) Gravitational time delay and (5) Motion of test particle in the framework of general relativity with higher dimensions. It is show...
متن کاملSolar System tests of Hořava–Lifshitz gravity
In the present paper, we consider the possibility of observationally constraining Hořava gravity at the scale of the Solar System, by considering the classical tests of general relativity (perihelion precession of the planet Mercury, deflection of light by the Sun and the radar echo delay) for the spherically symmetric black hole Kehagias– Sfetsos solution of Hořava–Lifshitz gravity. All these ...
متن کاملSolar system tests do rule out 1=R gravity
Shortly after the addition of a 1=R term to the Einstein-Hilbert action was proposed as a solution to the cosmic-acceleration puzzle, Chiba showed that such a theory violates Solar System tests of gravity. A flurry of recent papers have called Chiba’s result into question. They argue that the spherically-symmetric vacuum spacetime in this theory is the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solution, making t...
متن کاملGravity of higher-dimensional global defects
Solutions of Einstein’s equations are found for global defects in a higherdimensional spacetime with a nonzero cosmological constant Λ. The defect has a (p − 1)-dimensional core (brane) and a ‘hedgehog’ scalar field configuration in the n extra dimensions. For Λ = 0 and n > 2, the solutions are characterized by a flat brane worldsheet and a solid angle deficit in the extra dimensions. For Λ > 0...
