Deforming Einstein’s Gravity
نویسنده
چکیده
A deformation of Einstein Gravity is constructed based on gauging the noncommutative ISO(3, 1) group using the Seiberg-Witten map. The transformation of the star product under diffeomorphism is given, and the action is determined to second order in the deformation parameter.

No birefringence in Einstein’s gravity
Einstein’s theory predicts that, massive test particles with nonzero spin or angular momentum, in an external gravitation field, follow geodesics which depend upon the orientation of the spin-angular momentum [1]. It has been claimed [2] that such an effect also holds for photons i.e. photons with different helicities follow different geodesics in the gravitational field of a rotating body. If ...
متن کاملExperimental Tests of Relativistic Gravity
The confrontation between Einstein’s gravitation theory and experimental results, notably binary pulsar data, is summarized and its significance discussed. Experiment and theory agree at the 10−3 level or better. All the basic structures of Einstein’s theory (coupling of gravity to matter; propagation and self-interaction of the gravitational field, including in strong-field conditions) have be...
متن کاملA Gravitational shock wave generated by a beam of null matter in quadratic qravity
In the present work we approximate an ultrarelativistic jet by a homogeneous beam of null matter with finite width. Then, we study the influence of this beam over the spacetime metric in the framework of higher-derivative gravity. We find an exact shock wave solution of the quadratic gravity field equations and compare it with the solution to Einstein’s gravity. We show that the effect of highe...
متن کاملModified Friedmann model in Randers-Finsler space of approximate Berwald type as a possible alternative to dark energy hypothesis
Gravitational field equations in Randers-Finsler space of approximate Berwald type are investigated. A modified Friedmann model is proposed. It is showed that the accelerated expanding universe is guaranteed by a constrained RandersFinsler structure without invoking dark energy. The geodesic in Randers-Finsler space is studied. The additional term in the geodesic equation acts as repulsive forc...
متن کاملGauge Theory Gravity with Geometric Calculus
A new gauge theory of gravity on flat spacetime has recently been developed by Lasenby, Doran, and Gull. Einstein’s principles of equivalence and general relativity are replaced by gauge principles asserting, respectively, local rotation and global displacement gauge invariance. A new unitary formulation of Einstein’s tensor illuminates long-standing problems with energy-momentum conservation i...
