Reflections on Gravity *
A pedagogical description of a simple ungeometrical approach to General Relativity is given, which follows the pattern of well understood field theories, such as electrodynamics. This leads quickly to most of the important weak field predictions, as well as to the radiation damping of binary pulsars. Moreover, certain consistency arguments imply that the theory has to be generally invariant, an...
متن کاملLecture VIII: Linearized gravity
We are now ready to consider the solutions of GR for the case of weak gravitational fields. This encompasses Newtonian gravity, as well as a few extensions thereof. In addition to its importance in e.g. the solar system, our study of linearized gravity will prepare us for the discussion of some of the weak-field experimental tests of GR (Lecture XI). It will also illustrate some of the issues t...
متن کاملGravity of higher-dimensional global defects
Solutions of Einstein’s equations are found for global defects in a higherdimensional spacetime with a nonzero cosmological constant Λ. The defect has a (p − 1)-dimensional core (brane) and a ‘hedgehog’ scalar field configuration in the n extra dimensions. For Λ = 0 and n > 2, the solutions are characterized by a flat brane worldsheet and a solid angle deficit in the extra dimensions. For Λ > 0...
متن کاملGravity of superheavy higher-dimensional global defects
Numerical solutions of Einstein’s and scalar-field equations are found for a global defect in a higher-dimensional spacetime. The defect has a (3 + 1)dimensional core and a “hedgehog” scalar-field configuration in n = 3 extra dimensions. For sufficiently low symmetry-breaking scales η, the solutions are characterized by a flat worldsheet geometry and a constant solid deficit angle in the extra ...
متن کاملSolar System Tests of Higher-Dimensional Gravity
The classical tests of general relativity — light deflection, time delay and perihelion shift — are applied, along with the geodetic precession test, to the five-dimensional extension of the theory known as Kaluza-Klein gravity, using an analogue of the four-dimensional Schwarzschild metric. The perihelion advance and geodetic precession calculations are generalized for the first time to situat...
