چکیده
Assuming the equivalence of FRW-cosmological models and their Newtonian counterparts, we propose using the Gauss law in arbitrary dimension a general relation between the Newtonian gravitational constant G and the gravitational coupling constant κ.

Dilatonic gravity near two dimensions and asymptotic freedom of the gravitational coupling constant
Two models of dilatonic gravity are investigated: (i) dilaton-Yang-Mills gravity and (ii) higher-derivative dilatonic gravity. Both are renormalizable in 2 + ǫ dimensions and have a smooth limit for ǫ → 0. The corresponding one-loop effective actions and beta-functions are found. Both theories are shown to possess a non-trivial ultraviolet fixed point —for all dilatonic couplings— in which the ...
متن کاملGeneral dilatonic gravity with an asymptotically free gravitational coupling constant near two dimensions
We study a renormalizable, general theory of dilatonic gravity (with a kinetic-like term for the dilaton) interacting with scalar matter near two dimensions. The one-loop effective action and the beta functions for this general theory are written down. It is proven that the theory possesses a non-trivial ultraviolet fixed point which yields an asymptotically free gravitational coupling constant...
متن کاملElectroweak Symmetry Breaking and Extra Dimensions
Electroweak symmetry can be naturally broken by observed quark and gauge fields in various extra-dimensional configurations. No new fundamental fields are required below the quantum gravitational scale (∼ 10 – 100 TeV). We examine schemes in which the QCD gauge group alone, in compact extra dimensions, forms a composite Higgs doublet out of (t, b)L and a linear combination of the KaluzaKlein mo...
متن کاملThreshold Corrections in K3× T2 Heterotic String Compactifications
Abstract We consider compactifications of the heterotic string on K3×T2 so that the resulting theory in d = 4 space-time dimensions has N = 2 supersymmetry. The gravitational and gauge coupling constants of the low-energy effective theory receive threshold corrections from loops of super-heavy string states. We calculate these corrections for the case when the K3-surface is a Zn orbifold of a f...
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification with Extra Dimensions and Gravitational Scale Effects
We study gauge coupling unification in the presence of extra dimensions compactified at a few TeV. Achieving unification requires a large number of gauge boson Kaluza-Klein excitations lighter than the string scale, such that the higher-dimensional gauge couplings are O(1) in string scale units. Corrections to the gauge couplings from two or more loops are about 10% or larger, hence string (or ...
