نویسنده
چکیده
The principle of equivalence in gravitational physics and its mathematical base are reviewed. It is demonstrated how this principle can be realized in classical electrodynamis. In general, it is valid at any given single point or along a path without selfintersections unless the field considered satisfies some conditions.

Two models, one assuming a massive dilaton and the other a massless dilaton, are used to calculate the equivalence violations of the spectrum of atoms. These are then compared and conclusions drawn.

In Einstein's general relativistic description of gravitation, geometry replaces the concept of force. This is possible because of the universal character of free fall and would break down in its absence. On the other hand, the teleparallel version of general relativity is a gauge theory for the translation group and, as such, describes the gravitational interaction by a force similar to the Lo...

Modern formulations of equivalence principles provide the foundation for an efficient approach to understanding and organizing the structural features of gravitation field theories. Since theories’ predictions reflect differences in their structures, principles of equivalence also support an efficient experimental strategy for testing gravitation theories and for exploring the range of conceiva...

Using ODE techniques we prove the existence of large classes of initial data satisfying the constraints for the spherically symmetric EinsteinVlasov-Maxwell system. These include data for which the ratio of total charge to total mass is arbitrarily large.

We review the essential features of the Chaplygin gas cosmological models and provide some examples of appearance of the Chaplygin gas equation of state in modern physics. A possible theoretical basis for the Chaplygin gas in cosmology is discussed. The relation with scalar field and tachyon cosmological models is also considered.
