Asymmetrically Warped Spacetimes
We investigate spacetimes in which the speed of light along flat 4D sections varies over the extra dimensions due to different warp factors for the space and the time coordinates (“asymmetrically warped” spacetimes). The main property of such spaces is that while the induced metric is flat, implying Lorentz invariant particle physics on a brane, bulk gravitational effects will cause apparent vi...
متن کاملPropagation of vacuum polarized photons in topological black hole spacetimes
The one-loop effective action for QED in curved spacetime contains equivalence principle violating interactions between the electromagnetic field and the spacetime curvature. These interactions lead to the dependence of photon velocity on the motion and polarization directions. In this paper we investigate the gravitational analogue to the electromagnetic birefringence phenomenon in the static ...
متن کاملAsymmetrically warped R=0 braneworlds
A new family of five dimensional, R=0 braneworlds with asymmetric warp factors is proposed. Beginning with the invariance of the Ricci scalar for the general class of asymmetrically warped spacetimes we, subsequently specialise to the R = 0 case. Solutions are obtained by choosing a particular relation (involving a parameter ν) between the warp factors. Symmetric warping arises as a special cas...
متن کاملAsymmetrically warped compactifications and gravitational Lorentz violation
In a variant of the Randall-Sundrum braneworld model which has a charged black hole in an anti-de Sitter bulk, the 4D speed of gravity depends upon one’s location in the bulk, and in general differs from the speed of light on a given 3-brane. We apply phenomenological constraints on the difference in the speeds of light and gravity to models which use the warping to solve the hierarchy problem....
متن کاملQuantum Stability of (2+1)-Spacetimes with Non-Trivial Topology
Quantum fields are investigated in the (2+1)-open-universes with non-trivial topologies by the method of images. The universes are locally de Sitter spacetime and anti-de Sitter spacetime. In the present article we study spacetimes whose spatial topologies are a torus with a cusp and a sphere with three cusps as a step toward the more general case. A quantum energy momentum tensor is obtained b...
