چکیده
Gravitational physics of VLBI experiment conducted on September 8, 2002 and dedicated to measure the speed of gravity (a fundamental constant in the Einstein equations) is treated in the first post-Newtonian approximation. Explicit speedof-gravity parameterization is introduced to the Einstein equations to single out the retardation effect caused by the finite speed of gravity in the relativistic time delay of light, passing through the variable gravitational field of the solar system. The speed-of-gravity 1.5 post-Newtonian correction to the Shapiro time delay is derived and compared with our previous result obtained by making use of the postMinkowskian approximation. We confirm that the 1.5 post-Newtonian correction to the Shapiro delay depends on the speed of gravity cg that is a directly measurable parameter in the VLBI experiment.

We construct an effective action for gravity in which all homogeneous solutions are nonsingular1). In particular, there is neither a big bang nor a big crunch. The action is a higher derivative modification of Einstein’s theory constructed in analogy to how the action for point particle motion of particles in special relativity is obtained from Newtonian mechanics. ⋆ Invited talk at Internation...

We have studied the time dependence of ω for an expanding universe in the generalised B-D theory and have obtained its explicit dependence on the nature of matter contained in the universe in different era.Lastly, we discuss how the observed accelerated expansion of the present universe can be accomodated in the formalism.

The global structure of solutions of the Einstein equations coupled to the Vlasov equation is investigated in the presence of a twodimensional symmetry group. It is shown that there exist global CMC and areal time foliations. The proof is based on long-time existence theorems for the partial differential equations resulting from the EinsteinVlasov system when conformal or areal coordinates are ...
