Gauge choice and geodetic deflection in conformal gravity
Conformal gravity has been proposed as an alternative theory of gravity which can account for flat galactic rotation curves without recourse to copious quantities of dark matter. However it was shown that for the usual choice of the metric, the result is catastrophic for null or highly relativistic geodesics, the effect is exactly the opposite yielding an effective repulsion and less deflection...
متن کاملThe Deflection of Light in the Dynamic Theory of Gravity
In a new theory gravity called the dynamic theory, which is derived from thermodymical principles in a five dimensional space, the deflection of a light signal is calculated and compared to that of general relativity. This is achieved by using the dynamic gravity line element which is the usual four dimesional space-time element of Newtonian gravity modified by a negative inverse radial exponet...
متن کاملConformal Immersions, and Gravity
Basic quantities related to 2-D gravity, such as Polyakov extrinsic action, Nambu-Goto action, geometrical action, and Euler characteristic are studied using generalized Weierstrass-Enneper (GWE) inducing of surfaces in R3. Connection of the GWE inducing with conformal immersion is made and various aspects of the theory are shown to be invariant under the modified VeselovNovikov hierarchy of fl...
متن کاملThe observable light deflection angle
The physical deflection angle of a light ray propagating in a space-time supplied with an asymptotically flat metric has to be expressed in terms of the impact parameter.
متن کاملCosmology and Galactic Rotation Curves
We explore the possibility that the entire departure of galactic rotational velocities from their luminous Newtonian expectation be cosmological in origin, and show that within the framework of conformal gravity (but not Einstein gravity apparently) every static observer sees the overall Hubble flow as a local universal linear potential which is able to account for available data without any ne...
