Equivalence principle and gravitational redshift.
We investigate leading order deviations from general relativity that violate the Einstein equivalence principle in the gravitational standard model extension. We show that redshift experiments based on matter waves and clock comparisons are equivalent to one another. Consideration of torsion balance tests, along with matter-wave, microwave, optical, and Mössbauer clock tests, yields comprehensi...
متن کاملTesting the Equivalence Principle : Why and How ?
Part of the theoretical motivation for improving the present level of testing of the equivalence principle is reviewed. The general rationale for optimizing the choice of pairs of materials to be tested is presented. One introduces a simpliied rationale based on a trichotomy of competing classes of theoretical models. 1. Why testing the equivalence principle ? Einstein introduced in 1907 1] wha...
متن کاملTesting Einstein's Equivalence Principle With Fast Radio Bursts.
The accuracy of Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP) can be tested with the observed time delays between correlated particles or photons that are emitted from astronomical sources. Assuming as a lower limit that the time delays are caused mainly by the gravitational potential of the Milky Way, we prove that fast radio bursts (FRBs) of cosmological origin can be used to constrain the EEP with ...
متن کاملOn Testing the Equivalence Principle with Extragalactic Bursts
An interesting test of Einstein’s equivalence principle (EEP) relies on the observed lag in arrival times of photons emitted from extragalactic transient sources. Attributing the lag between photons of different energies to the gravitational potential of the Milky Way (MW), several authors derive new constraints on deviations from EEP. It is shown here that potential fluctuations from the large...
متن کاملThe strong equivalence principle from a gravitational gauge structure
Gravitational self-interactions are assumed to be determined by the covariant derivative acting on the Riemann-Christoffel field strength. Once imposed on a metric theory, this Yang-Mills gauge constraint extends the equality of gravitational mass and inertial mass to compact bodies with non-negligible gravitational binding energy. Applied to generalized Brans-Dicke theories, it singles out one...
